Raw moments are measured about any arbitrary point A (say). If A is taken to be zero then raw moments are called moments about origin. When A is taken to be Arithmetic mean we get central moments. The first raw moment about origin is mean whereas the first central moment is zero.

What are raw moments in statistics?
The raw moment or the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) is the expected value of X^n. It is also known as the Crude moment.
What do you mean by central and non central moments?
The central moments of a probability distribution p(x) are defined as: θn=⟨(x−⟨x⟩)n⟩ while the non-central moments are the standard: μn=⟨xn⟩
Which distribution has raw moments?
which is exactly the Bernoulli distribution.
