International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1997, vol. 20, 1-4

Abstract:

Suppose X = ( X 1 , X 2 , … , X n ) is a random vector uniformly distributed over a polytope. In this note, the author derives a formula for E ( X i r X j s … ) , (the expected value of X i r X j s … ), in terms of the extreme points of the polytope.
