[R] E(1/(X+c)) ? where X ~ Chi-square(n) and c is a constant.
Hi all, Can someone help me with the following expectation in a closed form? E(1/(X+c)) where X ~ Chi-square(n) and c is a constant. Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

i don't know it off the top of my head but there's a relation between powers of the chi squared and the gamma dsitribution. check it out in casella and berger or arnold. mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip He" <hydinghua at gmail.com> To: <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch> Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 2:52 PM Subject: [R] E(1/(X+c)) ? where X ~ Chi-square(n) and c is a constant.> Hi all, > > Can someone help me with the following expectation in a closed form? > > E(1/(X+c)) > > where X ~ Chi-square(n) and c is a constant. > > Thanks. > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >
