Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund inequality

In mathematics, the Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund inequality, named after Józef Marcinkiewicz and Antoni Zygmund, gives relations between moments of a collection of independent random variables. It is a generalization of the rule for the sum of variances of independent random variables to moments of arbitrary order. It is a special case of the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequality in the case of discrete-time martingales.
