Abstract

Two deficiencies in using moment-generating functions are given and illustrated with examples. Many distributions do not have moment generating functions, but every distribution has a unique characteristic function. The use of characteristic functions is preferred to moment-generating functions. KEY WORDS: Moment-generating functions, Characteristic functions.
