calculating power of a random variable following any distribution (specifically Gamma Gamma distribution)

7 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have generated a gamma gamma random variable using
y=[1,10];
g1=gamrnd(4.08,1/4.08,y);
g2=gamrnd(1.47,1/1.47,y);
g3=g1.*g2;
How to calculate power of this GG random variable??
Answer is appreciated.
Thank you.

If you want, you can compute
x = mean(g3.^2)
but that is just a sample value corresponding to the particular random g1 and g2 that you generated. Computing the expected value of g3.^2 over all possible samples is much more work, if that is what you actually need.

Will it give me the power of random variable g3.? And Is this the same way to compute power of a random variable of any distribution?

Assuming that by power you mean Mean Squared value of the distribution.
You can use
mean(x.^2)
Notice .^ and not ^. It means you are dowing an element wise operation.
