Moments and Moment Generating Function of the (non-central) Chi-Squared Distribution

Description

Raw moments, limited moments and moment generating function for the chi-squared (\chi^2) distribution with df degrees of freedom and optional non-centrality parameter ncp.

Usage

mchisq(order, df, ncp = 0)
levchisq(limit, df, ncp = 0, order = 1)
mgfchisq(t, df, ncp = 0, log= FALSE)

Arguments

order	order of the moment.
limit	limit of the loss variable.
df	degrees of freedom (non-negative, but can be non-integer).
ncp	non-centrality parameter (non-negative).
t	numeric vector.
log	logical; if TRUE, the cumulant generating function is returned.

Details

The kth raw moment of the random variable X is E[X^k], the kth limited moment at some limit d is E[\min(X, d)] and the moment generating function is E[e^{tX}].

Only integer moments are supported for the non central Chi-square distribution (ncp > 0).

The limited expected value is supported for the centered Chi-square distribution (ncp = 0).

Value

mchisq gives the kth raw moment, levchisq gives the kth moment of the limited loss variable, and mgfchisq gives the moment generating function in t.

Invalid arguments will result in return value NaN, with a warning.
