ABSTRACT

In this paper, we use the generalized hypergeometric series method the high- order inverse moments and high-order inverse factorial moments of the generalized geometric distribution, the Katz distribution, the Lagrangian Katz distribution, generalized Polya-Eggenberger distribution of the first kind and so on.

1. Introduction

The moment is one of the most widely used features of probability of random variables. The moments of random variables have been widely used in many important fields such as finance, probability theory, statistics and so on. So the calculation of the moment is very important. The inverse moment is a hot research direction in recent years. Inverse moment plays an important role in risk assessment, insurance and finance, and it is an important concept in probability. The study of the inverse moments originates from random sampling, is the

number of observations with mean if

is independent and identically distributed random variable, the variance is,when is a constant, the variance of is, but when the is a random variable, the variance of was, at this point in the

sampling problem of inverse moment are introduced. Generally, the distribution of is mainly the Poisson distribution, binomial distribution and so on.

The research on inverse moments of the binomial distribution and the Poisson distribution has been a long history. In 1945, Frederick F. Stephan studied the inverse moments of first and second order of the binomial distribution (see [1]). Grab and Stephan calculated tables of reciprocals for binomial and Poisson distribution as well as derive a recurrence relation. They also derived an exact expression for the first inverse moment (see [2]). Govindarajulu in 1963 a recursive formula moments of binomial distribution has been obtained (see [3]). In 1972, Chao and Strawderman (see [4]) considered slightly different inverse mo-

ments defined as which are frequently easier to calculate.

At present, more and more scholars are interested in the study of inverse moment, and have a wealth of research results mainly binomial distribution, Poisson distribution, negative binomial distribution, logarithmic distribution (see [5]). In this paper describes the use of generalized hypergeometric series inverse moments and factorial inverse moment distribution of some. It mainly includes Janardan discussed the distribution of the generalized Polya-Eggenberger distribution of the first kind, and the special value of the parameters (see [6]).

In the next, we will give some definitions necessarily.
