An application of the canonical moments theory to estimation of the random variable density distributed over finite interval
An identification problem for random variables distributed over finite intervals is considered. A decomposition of the density function for the required random variable into series on orthogonal polynomials is obtained. The decomposition is made on the basis of the canonical moments theory, and the family of beta-distributions as a base density is used. An algorithm for estimation of the density function of a random variable distributed over a finite interval is proposed. Results of the application of the estimation algorithm for some distributions are presented.
