Moment

The th moment of a distribution about zero is defined by

(1)

where

(2)

, the Mean, is usually simply denoted

. If the moment is instead taken about a point

(3)

The moments are most commonly taken about the Mean. These moments are denoted

and are defined by

(4)

with

. The moments about zero and about the Mean are related by

			(5)
			(6)
			(7)

The second moment about the Mean is equal to the Variance

(8)

where

is called the Standard Deviation.

The related Characteristic Function is defined by

(9)

The moments may be simply computed using the Moment-Generating Function,

(10)

A Distribution is not uniquely specified by its moments, although it is by its Characteristic Function.
