The distribution and moments of the number of components of a random function
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
A relatively simple formula is presented for the probability distribution of the number K of components of a random function. This formula facilitates the (computer) calculation of the factorial moments of K and yields new expressions for the mean and variance of K.
