StudentTDistribution.MomentFunction Method

Returns the value of the moment function of the specified order.

Definition

Namespace: Numerics.NET.Statistics.Distributions
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 10.9.0

public override double MomentFunction(
	int order,
	double x
)

Visual Basic

Public Overrides Function MomentFunction ( 
	order As Integer,
	x As Double
) As Double

C++/CLI

public:
virtual double MomentFunction(
	int order, 
	double x
) override

abstract MomentFunction : 
        order : int * 
        x : float -> float 
override MomentFunction : 
        order : int * 
        x : float -> float

Parameters

order Int32: The order of the moment function.
x Double: The point at which to evaluate the moment function.

Return Value

Double
The value of the moment function of order order at x.

Remarks

Order zero returns CDF(x)-1/2. Positive orders integrate t^order*f(t) over the negative-infinite lower interval. A divergent lower odd integral returns negative infinity; its full-line moment is undefined. Divergent even integrals return positive infinity.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

order is less than zero.
