Scaling limits for the Lego discrepancy [PDF]

, 1999
For the Lego discrepancy with M bins, which is equivalent with a chi^2-statistic with M bins, we present a procedure to calculate the moment generating function of the probability distribution perturbatively if M and N, the number of uniformly and ...

A New Family of Discrete Distributions with Mathematical Properties, Characterizations, Bayesian and Non-Bayesian Estimation Methods

Mathematics, 2020
In this work, we propose and study a new family of discrete distributions. Many useful mathematical properties, such as ordinary moments, moment generating function, cumulant generating function, probability generating function, central moment, and ...

A characterization of the normal distribution [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2014
It is shown that the normal distribution with mean zero is characterized by the property that the product of its characteristic function and moment generating function is equal to 1.

Moment generating functions of record values from a class of doubly truncated distributions

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2020
In this paper, we consider a class of doubly truncated distributions. Based on this class, recurrence relation for moment generating functions of record values is derived.

Note on the moment generating function of the multivariate normal distribution

Miskolc Mathematical Notes
We present a streamlined proof of a formula for the derivatives of the moment generating function of the multivariate normal distribution. We formulate it in terms of the summation of the contractions by pairings, which encodes a combinatorial ...
