Method of moments

• How to Estimate Uniform Distribution Parameters by Moments
  For a uniform model, match sample moments to population moments; see formulas for U(0, θ) and U(a, b), with a worked example.
• How to Use the Method of Moments for a Gamma Distribution
  Estimate a gamma distribution’s shape and scale by matching sample moments, with formulas, a worked example, and the rate-parameter alternative.
