Identities over set partitions

Abstract Certain types of partition identities, interpreted as moments of stochastic processes in the exponential case, are extended to larger classes by way of Faa DiBruno's formula. Several special cases are then examined. A probabilistic interpretation is given to the formula associated to the geometric series by way of the gambler's ruin problem.
