1 :46 /6/ TOPIC Momen generaing funcions The n h momen of a random variable X is EX n if his quaniy exiss; he momen generaing funcion MGF of X is he funcion defined by M := Ee X for R; he expecaion in exiss since e X is a nonnegaive bu may be + This secion shows how he MGF generaes he momens, and how he momens can in cerain cases be used o recover he MGF Noe ha if Y = a + bx for numbers a and b, hen M Y := Ee Y = Ee a e bx = e a Ee bx = e a M X b for all R Consequenly, given a locaion/scale family of disribuions, i suffices o compue he MGF for one simple member in he family; he MGFs of he oher members follow from Example The mgfs in his example are illusraed in Figure a Suppose X N, Then M = Ee X = = e / e x e x / π dx e /+x x / π dx = e / In paricular, { R : M < } = R b Suppose X Gammar, Then M = Ee X = = e x xr e x Γr dx r x r e x r dx = Γr e x / π dx = e / 3 r 4 for < ; however M = for In paricular, { R : M < } =, c Suppose X UF,, wih densiy fx = / + x for x and oherwise Then M = Ee X = e x + x dx = e e y e E, if <, y dy =, if =, 5, if > ; here E n u := e uy /y n dx is he value of he so-called exponenial inegral of order n a u In paricular, { R : M < } =, ] In Maple, E n u is Ein,u d Suppose X Cauchy, Then M = Ee X = Here { R : M < } = {} e x π + x dx = These examples moivae he following resul {, if =,, oherwise Theorem Le M be he MGF of a random variable X Then B := { R : M < } 7 is a perhaps degenerae inerval conaining Moreover M is convex on B Proof The exponenial funcion x e x is convex on R Hence for and in R and α, we have e α + α Xω αe Xω + αe Xω for all ω = E e α + α X E αe X + αe X = M α + α αm + αm 8 Consequenly if M < and M <, hen M < for all [, ]; i follows ha B is an inerval B conains because M = Ee X = Ee = 8 says ha M is convex on B 6

3 :46 /6/ : D is inegrable and Y n D for all n ± ɛ B We need o produce a D saisfying heorem, e nx e X = n Xe X By he mean value for some poin beween and n ; depends on n and he implici sample poin ω, bu we don indicae ha in he noaion Hence Y n = enx e X = X e X X e ɛx + e +ɛx n Now Thus We have X = ɛ ɛ X ɛ + ɛ X + ɛ X = ɛ eɛ X ɛ e ɛx + e ɛx Y n ɛ! + ɛ3 X 3 3! e ɛx + e ɛx e ɛx + e +ɛx D := ɛ e ɛx + e X + e +ɛx + ED = ɛ M ɛ + M + M + ɛ < by he choice of ɛ Hence D is he inegrable dominaor we need Ieraing his argumen do i! gives Theorem 3 Le X, M, B, B be as in Theorem, and suppose ha B is nonempy Then M is infiniely differeniable on B For each B and each k N, X k e X is inegrable and M k = E X k e X In paricular if B, hen for all k N, X k is inegrable and M k = EX k 5 B = M k exiss and equals EX k, for all k N Example Suppose X Gammar, By 4 M = r for < Consequenly B =, and EX k = M k = dk r = d k r+ = rr + r + r + k r+k = = rr + r + r + k = Γr + k 3 Γr A relaed bu differen argumen see Exercise 5 gives his companion o Theorem 3: Theorem 4 Le X, M, B, and B be as in Theorem 3 Suppose ha / B, bu ha here exiss an ɛ > such ha [, ɛ B Then for all k N, X k is quasi-inegrable and EX k = M k M k M k + + := lim 4 M k + is called he k h righ-hand derivaive of M a ; by definiion M + = M = A similar resul holds for he lefhand derivaives M k of M a when ɛ, ] B Example 3 Suppose X UF, as in Example c Since B =, ], we have M k = EX k = for all k N x k dx = + x 6
4 The series expansion of he MGF Consider he following heurisic M = Ee X = E k X k?= EXk k 5 This couldn be rue in general, because he power series on he RHS converges o a finie value in an inerval which is symmeric abou, whereas he domain of finieness of M can be an asymmeric inerval abou Theorem 5 Le X be a random variable wih MGF M Then he following wo saemens are equivalen: S X k is inegrable for all k N and he series k EX k / has radius of convergence R > S R := sup{ > : M < and M < } > If S and S hold, hen S3 R = R, and S4 M = k EX k / for all such ha M < and M <, and in paricular for all such < R = R Example 4 a Suppose X Gammar, Then B =, = R = = R = = 5 holds for < Noe ha he LHS of 5 is defined and finie for <, even hough he series on he RHS does no converge for such s b Suppose X N, Then B =,, so R = R = Consequenly X k is inegrable for all k N and = M = / e n= EXn n n! = / k = k! k k k! 7 S: X k is inegrable for all k N and he series k EX k / has radius of convergence R > S: R := sup{ > : M < and M < } > S3: R = R S4: M = EXk k / for < R = R By he uniqueness of he coefficiens of a power series, EX n = for n odd, whereas EX k = k! k = 3 k = 3 5 k k is he produc of he odd posiive inegers less han k In paricular, EX =, EX 6 = 3 5 = 5, EX 4 = 3 = 3, EX 8 = = 5 Remember hese formulas! c Suppose S holds Then M = EXk k / for all wih < R = R I follows from he heory of power series ha M is infiniely differeniable in he inerval R, R and ha M k = EX k for all k N This gives anoher proof of Proof of Theorem 5 Sep : If and M± <, hen X k is inegrable for all k and M = EXk k / Indeed, we have E k X k = Ee X Ee X + e X = M + M < In paricular, E k X k / < = E X k < = EX k exiss and is finie, for all k N Moreover by Fubini s Theorem M = E k X k = 8 k EX k
