st: Skewness and kurtosis

[Ari Samaranayaka <ari.samaranayaka@ipru.otago.ac.nz>]

Dear statalist,
Can someone tell me the exact formulas used by Stata to calculate 
skewness and kurtosis. This question is because several types of 
skewness and kurtosis are defined in literature, and the terminology and 
notation are not consistent.
Thanks
Ari
