thekurt

Kurtosis is the next moment after skew (which is the moment after the variance). This function is provided primarily to support the function <code>mystat</code> . It uses the algorithm provided in the R package <code>e1071</code>

Functions for performing quick observations or evaluations of data, including a variety of ways to list objects by size, class, etc.  The functions 'seqle' and 'reverse.seqle' mimic the base 'rle' but can search for linear sequences. The function 'splatnd' allows the user to generate zero-argument commands without the need for 'makeActiveBinding' .  Functions provided to convert from any base to any other base, and to find the n-th greatest max or n-th least min.  In addition, functions which mimic Unix shell commands, including 'head', 'tail' ,'pushd' ,and 'popd'. Various other goodies included as well.
