_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function computes an estimator of Geary's measure of
     kurtosis.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     geary(x, na.rm = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a numeric vector, matrix or data frame. 

   na.rm: logical. Should missing values be removed? 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The Geary's kurtosis is computed by dividing average difference
     between observation and the mean by standard deviation of the
     sample.
