Abstract

Suppose that we have a non-negative, real valued random variable x, whose distribution is governed by some unknown moment generating function M(t). Suppose further that we are given certain moments of x, then the question to be discussed in this paper is : can we find a sharp upper bounding function for the m.g.f.? It will be shown that this is usually possible both in the single variate case and in its natural extension to the multivariate case.
