Moments from an Empirical Distribution
jjweimer
This function calculates a moment from an empirical distribution function.
wdistr - the input distribution wave
n - the moment (-2 - rms, 0 - most probable, 1 - mean, 2 - second, 3 ...)
xmax - optional x limit for the calculations
wdistrX - optional x wave for distribution (for calculations with non-scaled waves)

This would be used by example to obtain the requisite values from polymer molar mass distributions or particle size distributions.
