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…

We present a characterization of the null moments of the Complex Multivariate Normal Distribution with non-singular covariance matrix and we give closed-forms expressions for its non-null moments.
We find conditions which guarantee moment (in)determinacy of powers and products of nonnegative random variables. We establish new and general results which are based either on the rate of growth of the moments of a random variable or on…
Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent variance-gamma random variables with zero location parameter; then the exact probability density function of the ratio $X/Y$ is derived. Some basic distributional properties are also derived, including…
Motivated by previous work on moment varieties for Gaussian distributions and their mixtures, we study moment varieties for two other statistically important two-parameter distributions: the inverse Gaussian and gamma distributions. In…
We introduce a novel method for obtaining a wide variety of moments of any random variable with a well-defined moment-generating function (MGF). We derive new expressions for fractional moments and fractional absolute moments, both central…
The general relationship between an arbitrary frequency distribution and the expectation value of the frequency distributions of its samples is discussed. A wide set of measurable quantities ("invariant moments") whose expectation value…
In this investigation, the distribution of the ratio of two independently distributed xgamma (Sen et al. 2016) random variables X and Y , with different parameters, is proposed and studied. The related distributional properties such as,…
Several convenient methods for calculation of fractional absolute moments are given with application to heavy tailed distributions. We use techniques of fractional differentiation to obtain formulae for $E[|X-\mu|^\gamma]$ with $1<\gamma<2$…
We present an analytic method for computing the moments of a sum of independent and identically distributed random variables. The limiting behavior of these sums is very important to statistical theory, and the moment expressions that we…
We present a family of explicit formulae for evaluating absolute moments of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in terms of Fourier transforms. As to the space of probability measures possessing finite absolute moments of an arbitrary…
This paper is focuses on the computation of the positive moments of one-side correlated random Gram matrices. Closed-form expressions for the moments can be obtained easily, but numerical evaluation thereof is prone to numerical stability,…
In this note, we derive the closed form formulae for moments of Student's t-distribution in the one dimensional case as well as in higher dimensions through a unified probability framework. Interestingly, the closed form expressions for the…
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…
We calculate moments and moment generating functions of two distributions: the so called $q-$Normal and the so called conditional $q-$Normal distributions. These distributions generalize both Normal ($q=1),$ Wigner ($% q=0,$ $q-$Normal) and…
The problem of finding an explicit formula for the probability density function of two zero mean correlated normal random variables dates back to 1936. Perhaps surprisingly, this problem was not resolved until 2016. This is all the more…
The bounds for absolute moments of order statistics are established. Let $X_1,\dots ,X_n$ be independent identically distributed real-valued random variables and let $X_{1:n}\le \dots \le X_{n:n}$ be the corresponding order statistics. The…
This study presents new closed-form estimators for the Dirichlet and the Multivariate Gamma distribution families, whose maximum likelihood estimator cannot be explicitly derived. The methodology builds upon the score-adjusted estimators…
