Assume that you have random variable X with pdf or pmf f(x; θ1, . . . , θk). Let X1, . . . , Xn be a random sample from X. Then Mj = (1/n)Xn i=1 (Xi)j is known as the j-th sample moment of the sample. The moment estimators of θ1, . . . , θk, denoted by ˜θ1, . . . , ˜θk, are the values of θ1, . . . , θk which solve the k equations...
