I have two random variables X and Y. X follows a power law distribution. I know its generating function G(x). I also know the Pearson correlation coefficient of X and Y. How do I find the generating function of Y?

Closed. See Douglas' comment, which answers your question. – Scott Morrison♦ Feb 4 2010 at 18:19
Since Douglas's comment is gone, let me add that the answer in it was "To answer your question, you can't in general, as you have 1 condition on an infinite dimensional space." – Ben Webster♦ Feb 4 2010 at 20:07
