Abstract

We describe an operator relation that relates two arbitrary probability densities. The relation may be thought of as a generalization of the Edgeworth and Gram–Charlier series of probability theory. We apply the relation to a number of issues. We generalize to relate a probability distribution with itself but at different times and show that it can be used to obtain approximate solutions. We apply the scale operator to the case of the product of two independent random variables, and generalize the concept of cumulants for that case. An operator relation between the energy density of a signal and the energy density of the spectrum is obtained. In addition, we show that the spectral moments of a signal may be expressed in terms of the Bell polynomials.
