For example four moments and four linear combinations under general conditions (specified later) determine the distribution of n = 56 independent random variables, but not of 57.

This paper considers a stochastic shortest path problem where the arc lengths are independent random variables following a normal distribution. In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes ...

A random variable is one whose value is unknown or a function that assigns values to each of an experiment’s outcomes. A random variable can be discrete or continuous.
