| Jan 6 at 5:47 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | There's a necessary and sufficient positive definiteness condition analogous to Bochner's theorem for characteristic functions (i.e. Fourier transform instead of Laplace), see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_problem#Existence. But it's not very easy to check. | |
