MathMomentsBeta

Calculates the theoretical numerical values of the first 4 moments of the beta distribution.

double  MathMomentsBeta(
   const double  a,              // the first parameter of beta distribution (shape1)
   const double  b,              // the second parameter of beta distribution (shape2)
   double&       mean,           // variable for the mean
   double&       variance,       // variable for the variance
   double&       skewness,       // variable for the skewness
   double&       kurtosis,       // variable for the kurtosis
   int&          error_code      // variable for the error code
   );
