A Moment Convergence Theorem

From MaRDI portal





The author shows that binomial moments, of integer-valued random variables, can be used to prove the convergence of corresponding probability mass distributions. The proof is elementary and also yields an explicit formula for the limit distribution mass function. The paper provides an excellent historical overview of the classical moment problem. It begins with \textit{P. L. Chebyshev} [Abh. Akad. Wiss. St. Petersburg 55 (1887; JFM 19.0208.02)] and continues until \textit{M. Fréchet} and \textit{J. Shohat} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 33, 533-543 (1931; Zbl 0002.28003)].
