Title: On the Use of Characteristic Function for Generating Moments of Probability Distributions.
Abstract: Characteristic Functions (cf) have been used to establish the convergence of several independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) random variables. It is also used in identifying uniquely, the distribution of random variables (i.e., once the (cf) is known), one can categorically state the distribution of the random variable involved. In this paper, the use of the (cf) in generating moments of random variables about on origin is presented. Means and variance of the distribution are also obtained. Two discrete and two continuous probability distribution are taken into consideration.
