Abstract
By means of the notion of umbrae indexed by multisets, a general method to express estimators and their products in terms of power sums is derived. A connection between the notion of multiset and integer partition leads immediately to a way to speed up the procedures. Comparisons of computational times with known procedures show how this approach turns out to be more efficient in eliminating much unnecessary computation.
