A probability density function question [closed]

Could anyone help me figure out the the probability density function of |X|^(1/2)+|Y|^(1/2)+|Z|^(1/2) if X, Y and Z are distributed normally with mean 0 and variance 1, N(0,1) ?

Thanks in advance.

What are you going to do with this pdf? An analytic expression for this is likely to be so messy so as to be useless, so if you're going to compute with it, you may be better off doing something else. – jc Nov 24 at 21:00

Are $X, Y, Z$ in $R^n$, then? – Kevin O'Bryant Nov 28 at 18:04

How to write math

You can just type LaTeX formulas between dollar signs! There are still some bugs with the preview; see the FAQ and this meta.MO thread for details. Basic solution: if you're having problems with the preview (or the post looks wrong), put backticks around any math that contains underscores or asterisks. E.g. write `$f'_n=g_{n+1}$`.

Since jsMath does take some time to render mathematical markup (for some people it's quite slow), please consider using basic HTML and HTML symbols for simple formulas whenever possible, like λ<sup>1</sup> ∉ ℤ<sub>p</sub> to get λ¹ ∉ ℤ_p.
