On the product of triangular random variables

Mridula Garg, Sangeeta Choudhary, Saralees Nadarajah (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We derive the probability density function (pdf) for the product of three independent triangular random variables. It involves consideration of various cases and subcases. We obtain the pdf for one subcase and present the remaining cases in tabular form. We also indicate how to calculate the pdf for the product of n triangular random variables.

A note on correlation coefficient between random events

Czesław Stępniak (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Correlation coefficient is a well known measure of (linear) dependence between random variables. In his textbook published in 1980 L.T. Kubik introduced an analogue of such measure for random events A and B and studied its basic properties. We reveal that this measure reduces to the usual correlation coefficient between the indicator functions of A and B. In consequence the resuts by Kubik are obtained and strenghted directly. This is essential because the textbook is recommended by...
