arXiv:2408.12385v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of approximately recovering a probability distribution given noisy measurements of its Chebyshev polynomial moments. This problem arises broadly across algorithms, statistics, and machine learning. By leveraging a global decay bound on the coefficients in the Chebyshev expansion of any Lipschitz function, we sharpen prior work, proving that accurate recovery in the Wasserstein distance is possible with more noise than previously known. Our result immediately yields a number of applications: 1) We give a simple "line
