+ //This function computes the non central moment of all orders of a

+ //
+ //For a vector or matrix x, mom=moment(x,ord) returns in the scalar mom
+ //the moment of order ord of all the entries of x.
+ //
+ //mom=moment(x,ord,'r')(or, equivalently, mom=moment(x,ord,1)) returns
+ //in each entry of the row vector mom the moment of order ord of each

+ //
+ //mom=moment(x,ord,'c')(or, equivalently, mom=cmoment(x,ord,2)) returns

+ //Nota: In the calculations the divisor is n, where n is the dimension
