In spite of a q-normal distribution is popular, there is a problem when calculating an expectation value with a corresponding normalized distribution and not a q-normal distribution itself. In this paper, two q-moments types called normalized and unormalized q-moments are introduced in details. Some properties of q-moments are given, and several relationships between them are established, and some results related to q-moments are also obtained. Moreover, we show that these new q-moments may be regarded as a generelazation of the classical case for q = 1. Firstly, we determine the q-moments of q-Gaussian distribution. Especially, we give explicitely the kurtosis parameters. Secondly, we compute the expression of the q-Laplace transform of the q-Gaussian distribution. Finally, we study the distribution of sum of q-independent Gaussian distributions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-02T20:48:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "q-gaussian distribution", "properties", "q-normal distribution", "q-independent gaussian distributions", "q-laplace transform" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
