Majboroda, R. E. An estimator of the moment generating function of a random variable from the results of observations. (English. Russian original) Zbl 0634.62039 Theory Probab. Math. Stat. 32, 141-151 (1986); translation from Teor. Veroyatn. Mat. Stat. 32, 121-131 (1985). Summary: An estimator of the function \(f(t)=E \exp (t\xi)\) from a sample of the r.v. \(\xi\) is described. The law of large numbers and the central limit theorem are proved for this estimator in certain function spaces. A confidence band for f(t) is constructed.
