The moment zeta function and applications
Abstract
Motivated by a probabilistic analysis of a simple game (itself inspired by a problem in computational learning theory) we introduce the moment zeta function of a probability distribution, and study in depth some asymptotic properties of the moment zeta function of those distributions supported in the interval [0, 1]. One example of such zeta functions is Riemann's zeta function (which is the moment zeta function of the uniform distribution in [0, 1]. For Riemann's zeta function we are able to show particularly sharp versions of our results.
