Lecture 27 Blog, ECE302 Spring 2013, Prof. Boutin
Monday March 18, 2013 (Week 11) - See Course Outline.
(Other blogs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
In Lecture 27, we defined the moment generating function of a random variable (continuous or discrete) and explored how it is related to the moments of the random variable. We also discussed the problem of recovering the pdf/pmf of a random variable from its moment generating function.
Action items for students (to be completed before next lecture)
- Read Section 5.8 in the textbook.
- Solve the following practice problems and consider sharing your solution for discussion and feedback. (You will hand in your solution later as part of homework 6.)
