Abstract
For the Power Series Distributions generated by an arbitrary entire function of finite order, applying methods of Karamata’s Theory of Regular Variation, we obtain asymptotic behavior of its moments. As an illustration, we calculate the moments of distributions generated by the class of Mittag-Leffler functions of which the well-known Poisson Law is just a special case.
