Comments

Re-express the Girard-Waring formulae to yield the mean powers in terms of the mean symmetric polynomials in the data values. Then for a family of 7 data, the sum of the positive coefficients in these polynomials is a(n). a(n+1)/a(n) approaches 1/(2^(1/7)-1). (For a family of 2 data, the coefficients of these polynomials give the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.) The sums of the negative coefficients are 1 less than the corresponding sums of the positive coefficients. See extended comment in A301417.

Formula

G.f.: (-x*(x+1)^6+1)/(x^2*(x^6+6*x^5+14*x^4+14*x^3-14*x-14)-8*x+1); this denominator equals (1-x)*(2-(1+x)^7) (conjectured).
