Just checking: is this homework? Why do you need to do this?
What is your input: a list of numbers, a function that encodes
a probability distribution, ... ? If the former, there are
existing skew and kurtosis functions out there
(install.packages("sos"); library("sos"); findFn("kurtosis")),
and it's pretty easy to do something like mean(x), mean(x^2),
mean(x^3), mean(x^4) for the non-central moments ...
