For a direct way to translate raw moments into cumulants, you may want to look at the methods from the book 'Symbolic Computation for Statistical Inference' by D. F. Andrews and J. E. Stafford. There is in fact an R-implementation of the methods available at http://fisher.utstat.toronto.edu/david/SCSI/RSCSI.html Hope this helps, Ernst Hansen Department of Statistics University of Copenhagen ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
