A moment closure replaces higher moments in a moment hierarchy by functions of retained lower moments. It converts an infinite hierarchy into a finite approximate system.

Moment closure
A central-moment closure sets selected high-order central moments to zero. For example, setting the third central moment of X to zero gives
E[X3]=3E[X]E[X2]−2(E[X])3.
