arch.univariate.distribution.Distribution.partial_moment

abstract Distribution.partial_moment(n, z=0.0, parameters=None)

Order n lower partial moment from -inf to z

Parameters

nint

Order of partial moment

zfloat, optional

Upper bound for partial moment integral

parametersndarray, optional

Distribution parameters. Use None for parameterless distributions.

Returns

float

Partial moment

Notes

The order n lower partial moment to z is

\[\int_{-\infty}^{z}x^{n}f(x)dx\]

See [1] for more details.
