Unified extension of variance bounds for integrated Pearson family

Abstract

We use some properties of orthogonal polynomials to provide a class of upper/lower variance bounds for a function g(X) of an absolutely continuous random variable X, in terms of the derivatives of g up to some order. The new bounds are better than the existing ones.
