On Regularly Varying Moments for Power Series Distributions


S. Simić


For the power series distribution, generated by an entire function of finite order, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of its regularly varying moments. Namely, we prove that $E_wX^\alpha\ell(X)\sim(E_wX)^\alpha\ell(E_wX)$, $\alpha>0$ ($w\to\infty$), where $\ell(\cdot)$ is an arbitrary slowly varying function.
