function m = moments(X,order)
% Returns the central sample moment of X specified by the positive integer order.
%
% Note that the cross moments are only computed if order=2, in this case the
% output is a matrix.
%
% INPUTS
%    X      [double]   T*n matrix, where T is the number of observations and n the number of variables.
%    order  [integer]  scalar.
%
% OUTPUTS
%    m      [double]  n*n matrix or n*1 vector of centered moments.
%
% SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
%    none
