@mbagagli - thanks for your submission. Due to the relatively small amount of code, the editors will now discuss if it meets the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS. You should hear back in a week or so.

In addition, you could work on the possibly missing DOIs that whedon suggests, but note that some may be incorrect. Please feel free to make changes to your .bib file, then use the command @whedon check references to check again, and the command @whedon generate pdf when the references are right to make a new PDF. Whedon commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.

👋 @mbagagli - I'm sorry to say that after discussion amongst the JOSS editors, we have decided that this submission does not meet the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS. The package seems to compute empirical third and fourth moments from datasets, which is a very simple thing to do. Further, we believe the C++ code can probably be replaced with a few lines of vectorized numpy code.

Please see https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#other-venues-for-reviewing-and-publishing-software-packages for other suggestions for how you might receive credit for your work.
