How do you find expectation and variance of a variable using moment generating functions?
The derivative of the moment generating function is the expectation. The variance is the second derivative of the moment generation, E(x^2), minus the expectation squared, (E(x))^2. ie var(x)=E(x^2)-(E(x))^2 :)
Obtaining moment generating function of poisson distribution?
The MGF is exp[lambda*(e^t - 1)].
How do you derive Moment generating function of Pareto distribution?
The moment generating function for any real valued probability distribution is the expected value of e^tX provided that the expectation exists.For the Type I Pareto distribution with tail index a, this isa*[-x(m)t)^a*Gamma[-a, -x(m)t)] for t < 0, where x(m) is the scale parameter and represents the least possible positive value of X.
Moment generating and the cumulant generating function of poisson distribution?
The moment generating function is M(t) = Expected value of e^(xt) = SUM[e^(xt)f(x)] and for the Poisson distribution with mean a inf = SUM[e^(xt).a^x.e^(-a)/x!] x=0 inf = e^(-a).SUM[(ae^t)^x/x!] x=0 = e^(-a).e^(ae^t) = e^[a(e^t -1)]
How is the mgf of Hypergeometric distribution driven?
A moment generating function does exist for the hypergeometric distribution.
How do you derive the moment generating function of an exponential distribution?
To derive the moment generating function of an exponential distribution, you can use the definition of the moment generating function E(e^(tX)) where X is an exponential random variable with parameter λ. Substitute the probability density function of the exponential distribution into the moment generating function formula and simplify the expression to obtain the final moment generating function for the exponential distribution, which is M(t) = λ / (λ - t) for t < λ.

How do you obtain moment generating function Log-normal distribution?
You cannot because it does not exist.Although all the moments of the lognormal distribution do exist, the distribution is not uniquely determined by its moments. One of the consequences of this is that the expected values E[e^tX] does not converge for any positive t.
