Wiki Statistics and Probability Method of Moments edit
If you search method of moments on wiki you get one page for probability and one page for statistics neither of which are a stub. Between probability and statistics isnt there only one method of moments? Merge?
- No. They're about two different things. Michael Hardy 20:05, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Question edit
Doesn't this result also require that X is uniquely determined by its moments? McKay 11:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- You're right. I have now added that assumption. Michael Hardy 17:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Next question is whether we have to say that each Xn has to have all its moments. Suppose that in fact only the first n moments of Xn exist. Then the k-th moments can still converge (using the usual convention that finite prefixes of sequences are ignored in deciding convergence) -- but is the theorem true in that case? 01:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
