Moments/Moment

• The moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph
• If the function represents mass density, then:
  • the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is the center of mass
  • the second moment is the moment of inertia
• The moments of a probability distribution are called raw moments and central moments
• The mathematical concept is closely related to the concept of moment in physics.

• Raw Moments - Moments About the Origin/Zero - Central/Mean Moments - Moments About The Mean - (Zeroth/First/Second/Third/Fourth/kth/nth) - of a Probability Density Function

• Mixed Moments - Central Mixed Moments
• Standardized Moments - Normalized Central Moments
