Abstract: Moments of continuous random variables admitting a probability density function are studied. We show that, under certain assumptions, the moments of a random variable can be characterized in ...

The LHS indicates that g is a function of D variables whereas the RHS indicates that g is a function of only 1 variable.

In the real world, probability is a tough thing to characterize. If I roll a die, what does it mean to say that it has a one-sixth chance of coming up 5? We say that the outcome is random because we ...

Abstract: Polynomial chaos (PC) has been proven to be an efficient method for uncertainty quantification, but its applicability is limited by two strong assumptions: the mutual independence of random ...

Cluster-correlated data receives a lot of attention in biomedical and longitudinal studies and it is of interest to assess the generalized dependence between two multivariate variables under the ...
