Some Properties of Simple Functions of Random Variables

Jock Anderson () and Howard E. Doran

Review of Marketing and Agricultural Economics, 1978, vol. 46, issue 01, 11

Abstract: Simple functions of random variables, such as sums, products, quotients and powers, arise in many applications in stochastic economics. It is sometimes convenient to determine the moments of such functions. Cases where this has been or can be done analytically are reviewed, and comments offered on procedures for when analysis fails.
