description

Explicit expansions for the moments of some Kumaraswamy generalized (Kw-G) distributions (Cordeiro and de Castro, 2011) are derived using special functions. We explore the Kw-normal, Kw-gamma, Kw-beta, Kw-t, and Kw-F distributions. These expressions are given as infinite weighted linear combinations of well-known special functions for which numerical routines are readily available.
