Hamburger moment problem for powers and products of random variables
Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference(2014)
摘要
We present new results on the Hamburger moment problem for probability distributions and apply them to characterize the moment determinacy of powers and products of i.i.d. random variables with values in the whole real line. Detailed proofs of all results are given followed by comments and examples. We also provide new and more transparent proofs of a few known results. E.g., we give a new and short proof that the product of three or more i.i.d. normal random variables is moment-indeterminate. The illustrations involve specific distributions such as the double generalized gamma (DGG), normal, Laplace and logistic. We show that sometimes, but not always, the power and the product of i.i.d. random variables (of the same odd ‘order’) share the same moment determinacy property. This is true for the DGG and the logistic distributions.
