[email protected] 1 Abstract The multivariate moments problem and it's application to the estimation of joint density functions is often considered highly impracticable in modern day analysis. Although many re- sults exist within the framework of this issue, it is often an undesirable method to be used in real world applications due to the computational complexity and intractability of higher order moments.
