Some inequalities for moments and coefficients of variation for a large class of probability functions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
Some inequalities for moments and coefficients of variation of probability densities over the positive real line are obtained by means of simple geometrical relationships. As an illustrative application rigorous bounds are obtained for the ratio of weight average to number average molecular weight for a large class of distributions of macromolecules, giving a more precise characterization of this empirical measure of heterogeneity.
