Abstract :
A distribution identification method is developed in the paper. The method derives a sequence of characteristic standardized moment ratios for a class of common continuous distribution. The use of the method has been demonstrated via several examples of identifying hypothesized random variables. The method correctly identified the hypothesized distribution
