Central and noncentral moments of the multivariate hypergeometric distribution
Published 14 Apr 2024 in math.PR, math.ST, stat.CO, and stat.TH | (2404.09118v1)
Abstract: In this short note, explicit formulas are developed for the central and noncentral moments of the multivariate hypergeometric distribution. A numerical implementation is provided in Mathematica for fast evaluations. This work complements the paper by Ouimet (2021), where analogous formulas were derived and implemented in Mathematica for the multinomial distribution.
