Recurrence Relations for Moment Generating Functions of Generalized Order Statistics Based on Doubly Truncated Class of Distributions
In this paper, we derived recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions of nonadjacent generalized order statistics (GOS) of random samples drawn from doubly truncated class of continuous distributions. Recurrence relations for joint moments of nonadjacent GOS (ordinary order statistics (OOS) and k-upper records (k-RVs) as special cases) are obtained. Single and product moment gene...
متن کاملMoment Generating Functions
1 Generating Functions 1.1 The ordinary generating function We define the ordinary generating function of a sequence. This is by far the most common type of generating function and the adjective “ordinary” is usually not used. But we will need a different type of generating function below (the exponential generating function) so we have added the adjective “ordinary” for this first type of gene...
متن کاملMoment-Based Learning of Mixture Distributions
We study the problem of learning the parameters of a mixture of members of a given distribution family. To do this, we apply the method of moments, dating to Pearson in the late 1800’s: we directly solve for the parameters in terms of estimated sample moments. We prove upper and lower bounds on the number of moments that uniquely determine mixtures for various distribution families. In particul...
متن کاملOn generating functions of Hausdorff moment sequences
The class of generating functions for completely monotone sequences (moments of finite positive measures on [0, 1]) has an elegant characterization as the class of Pick functions analytic and positive on (−∞, 1). We establish this and another such characterization and develop a variety of consequences. In particular, we characterize generating functions for moments of convex and concave probabi...
متن کاملNew Results on Moment Generating Functions of Generalized Wireless Fading Distributions and Applications
In this letter, new exact and approximated moment generating functions (MGF) for generalized fading distributions are derived and presented. Specifically, we consider the η-λ-μ, αμ, α-η-μ, α-μ, α-μ, and α-η-μ generalized distributions. In contrast to earlier results in the literature, both the new exact and approximated MGFs avoids complicated and computationally expensive special functions suc...
