A method for estimating the power of moments

Abstract Let X be an observable random variable with unknown distribution function F(x)=P(X≤x) $F(x) = \mathbb{P}(X \leq x)$, −∞<x<∞ $- \infty< x < \infty$, and let θ=sup{r≥0:E|X|r<∞}. $$\theta= \sup\bigl\{ r \geq0: \mathbb{E} \vert X \vert ^{r} < \infty\bigr\} . $$ We call θ the p...
