Moment Generating Function
The
moment generating function
(MGF) of a
random variable
is a powerful tool in
probability theory
, providing a succinct way to encode all
moments of the distribution
. By
differentiating the MGF
, one can derive the moments, and it also facilitates the use of techniques such as the
Central Limit Theorem
and helps in proving
distributional convergence
.
