Orthogonal polynomials in the approximation of probability distributions.

An approach to the problem of approximating a continuous probability distribution with a series in orthogonal polynomials is presented. The approach is first motivated with a discussion of theoretical distributions which are inherently difficult to evaluate. Additionally, a practical application whi...
