    Graduate Deriving the second raw moment of the rice PDF

    Never mind... I figured it out. The answer is very lengthy, so If anyone is curious just let me know. Otherwise, I'm not taking the time to post 3 pages of recursive formulas and integration by parts.

    Graduate Deriving the second raw moment of the rice PDF

    FYI, this is exactly the same problem as finding <x^2> (the average of the square) for P(x)

    Graduate Deriving the second raw moment of the rice PDF

    (the following is Mathematica code) For the rice pdf... P(x)=(x/σ^2) BesselI[0, x (ν/σ^2)] Exp[-(x^2 + ν^2)/(2 σ^2)] ...the Second raw moment is given by doing the integral... Integrate[(x^3/σ^2) BesselI[0, x (ν/σ^2)] Exp[-(x^2 + ν^2)/(2 σ^2)], {x, 0, Infinity}] While the answer...
