SUBROUTINE STMOM4(X,N,Iwrite,Xsmom4)

DESCRIPTION

stmom4(3f) computes the sample standardized fourth central moment of the data in the input vector x.

the sample standardized fourth central moment = (the sample fourth central moment)/((the sample standard deviation)**4).

n (rather than n-1) has been used in the denominator in the calculation of both the sample fourth central moment and the sample standard deviation.
