摘要
In this paper, we introduce a saddlepoint approximation method for higher-order moments like E(S − a)+m, a>0, where the random variable S in these expectations could be a single random variable as well as the average or sum of some i.i.d random variables, and a > 0 is a constant. Numerical results are given to show the accuracy of this approximation method.
