more detailed i got a probability: P=\int_{a}^{b}f(c+x)h(x)dx/(\int f(c+x)h(x)dx) I was now told that as x approaches zero the denominator approaches one because we can eliminate the resulting f(c)... or is it just a misstatement?

Hi again, im still a bit puzzled by this. what happens when \int f(c+x)h(x)dx is the according integral? Consider f and h to be pdfs. thanks again

jeah, but that does not really solve my problem ;) if it was so easy that i would be able to solve it, i wouldn't be posting here ;)

nobody got any idea? =(

Hey everyone, I have a problem to compute an equation i just read in an economics paper that was on my reading list. I simply cannot compute it in Maple and I have no further idea how to grasp it. Any suggestions are HIGHLY appreciated ;) http://21coe-glope.com/paper/21COE_WP3.pdf The...

Hi All, i got a short question. if i have an integral an let the integrand approach zero, how do i handle that? e.g.: [int]\int_a^b \! f(c+x) \, dx. what happens if lim(x->0) ? Maple still computes the integral as if nothing has happened... thanks all edit: can't get the integral sign to...

oh i am sorry... just a typo. F(.) should be H(.) and represent the cdf to the pdf h(.)...

Hi All, i got a short question concerning the ev of a monotone decreasing function. when i got a nonnegative random variable t, then its ev (with a continuous density h(.)) is given by E(t)=[int](1-F(t))dt Then if v is a nonpositive random variable, is its ev given by...
