Output central moments and include them within the set of final statistics.

Specification

• Alias: None

• Arguments: None

Description

Output central moments (mean, variance, 3rd central, and 4th central) and include the first two within the set of final statistics to be used at a higher level (e.g., optimization under uncertainty, mixed aleatory-epistemic UQ). This inclusion of moment results affects the primary and/or secondary response mappings in a nested model specificaton.

Examples

The following method specification overrides the default to print central moments and include them in the set of final statistics.
