Explicit formulas for the joint third and fourth central moments of the multinomial distribution

We give the first explicit formulas for the joint third and fourth central moments of the multinomial distribution, by differentiating the moment generating function. A general formula for the joint factorial moments was previously given in Mosimann (1962).
