We show first that there are intrinsic relationships among different conditions, old and recent, which lead to some general statements in both the Stieltjes and the Hamburger moment problems. Then we describe checkable conditions and prove…
The moments of random variables are fundamental statistical measures for characterizing the shape of a probability distribution, encompassing metrics such as mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. Additionally, the product moments,…
We obtain new closed-form formulas for the moments and absolute moments of the variance-gamma distribution. We thus deduce new formulas for the moments and absolute moments of the product of two correlated zero mean normal random variables.

Given $0<q<1,$ every absolutely continuous distribution can be described in two different ways: in terms of a probability density function and also in terms of a $q$-density. Correspondingly, it has a sequence of moments and a sequence of…

We study a class of positive random variables having moments of Gamma type, whose density can be expressed by the three-parametric Mittag-Leffler functions. We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for their…
We extend a general result showing that the asymptotic behavior of high moments, factorial or standard, of random variables, determines the asymptotically normality, from the one dimensional to the multidimensional setting. This approach…
We have analyzed some conditions which are essentially involved in deciding whether or not a probability distribution is unique (moment-determinate) or non-unique (moment-indeterminate) by its moments. We suggest new conditions concerning…
We consider univariate distributions with finite moments of all positive orders. The moment problem is to determine whether or not a given distribution is uniquely determined by the sequence of its moments. There is a huge literature on…
We derive two-sided bounds for moments of random multilinear forms (random chaoses) with nonnegative coeficients generated by independent nonnegative random variables $X_i$ which satisfy the following condition on the growth of moments:…
The moment problem in probability theory asks for criteria for when there exists a unique measure with a given tuple of moments. We study a variant of this problem for random objects in a category, where a moment is given by the average…
