Raw moment recursion for a compound Poisson distribution
ID: raw-moment-recursion-for-a-compound-poisson-distribution
Write , , and . Apply the Poisson size-bias identity with , and expand using the binomial theorem and independence. A finite th severity moment suffices. In particular, the aggregate expected value, variance, and third central moment are , , and , respectively; the latter two use raw severity moments.
