| Abstract | This thesis is concerned with the detailed derivation of Sheppard's Correction Formula relating the true to the raw moments by the use of Euler-MacLaurin formula. Special moment relationships have been derived using different special functions, whose application is made to derive correction formula for the semi-invariants. Special investigation is carried out on the error term resulting from the moment relationship mentioned above. Further, a moment relationship is established for a normal distribution function using a Taylor series approach. |
