Estimating a distribution's central moments: a specific tidal ventilation application

J. P. Butler and J. G. Mohler

A method is presented for extracting central moments of a distribution from data generated by the distribution over a known kernel. It is applied to the problem of the specific tidal ventilation in the lung in the multiple-breath N2-washout setting, and we found that in estimating the mean and variance, the method accurately recovers from test data those values characteristic of a test distribution. Some preliminary results on normal subjects are shown.
