We give the first explicit formulas for the joint third and fourth central moments of the multinomial distribution, by differentiating the moment generating function. A general formula for the joint factorial moments was previously given in…
The negative multinomial distribution appears in many areas of applications such as polarimetric image processing and the analysis of longitudinal count data. In previous studies, Mosimann (1963) derived general formulas for the falling…
We present formulas for the (raw and central) moments and absolute moments of the normal distribution. We note that these results are not new, yet many textbooks miss out on at least some of them. Hence, we believe that it is worthwhile to…
In this short note, explicit formulas are developed for the central and noncentral moments of the multivariate hypergeometric distribution. A numerical implementation is provided in Mathematica for fast evaluations. This work complements…
A recurrence formula for absolute central moments of Poisson distribution is suggested.
The factorial moments of the standard Poisson distribution are well known. The present note presents an explicit combinatorial sum for the factorial moments of the Poisson distribution of order $k$. Unlike the standard Poisson distribution…
The factorial moments of the standard Poisson distribution are well known and are simple, but the raw moments are considered to be more complicated (Touchard polynomials). The present note presents a recurrence relation and an explicit…
We provide formulas for the moments of the real and complex noncentral Wishart distributions of general degrees. The obtained formulas for the real and complex cases are described in terms of the undirected and directed graphs,…
We compute the deterministic approximation for mixed fluctuation moments of products of deterministic matrices and general Sobolev functions of Wigner matrices. Restricting to polynomials, our formulas reproduce recent results of [Male,…
We investigate the properties of the moments of the cot function using the central factorial numbers. Using a new integral representation of the central factorial numbers, we find a new way to express these moments in terms of recursive…
Despite the relevance of the binomial distribution for probability theory and applied statistical inference, its higher-order moments are poorly understood. The existing formulas are either not general enough, or not structured and…
This paper deals with Poisson processes on an arbitrary measurable space. Using a direct approach, we derive formulae for moments and cumulants of a vector of multiple Wiener-It\^o integrals with respect to the compensated Poisson process.…
In this paper, we generalise the formula for the fourth moment of a random determinant to account for entries with asymmetric distribution. We also derive the second moment of a random Gram determinant.
We provide an algebraic setting for cumulants and factorial moments through the classical umbral calculus. Main tools are the compositional inverse of the unity umbra, connected with the logarithmic power series, and a new umbra here…
In this paper we shall study noncommutative central moment inequalities with a main focus on whether the commutative bounds are tight in the noncommutative case, or not. We prove that the answer is affirmative for the fourth central moment…
A method is introduced for the verification of nonclassicality in terms of moments of nonclassicality quasiprobability distributions. The latter are easily obtained from experimental data and will be denoted as nonclassicality moments.…
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…
In this paper, we established some integral formulas for and involving the noncentral Tanny-Dowling polynomials. These formulas are shown to be generalizations of some known results on the classical geometric polynomials.
This survey provides a unified discussion of multiple integrals, moments, cumulants and diagram formulae associated with functionals of completely random measures. Our approach is combinatorial, as it is based on the algebraic formalism of…
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.
