Hi Giles, I ran into the same problem. Many months ago I asked about higher order moments in Multivariate Stats. I pulled the code and implemented third and fourth order moments in MVStats. I had to "unprotect" some methods and mostly got everything working. The problem arose (I think) in one of th

Hi. Looking at some way out for MATH-1228, I uncovered what looks to me as an abuse of inheritance: "ThirdMoment" extends "SecondMoment". "Skewness" contains a "ThirdMoment" instance variable but, in order to compute its value, "m3" (cf. "getResult()"), it also must read the result of that varia
