Expected distance between two uniform points in distinct rectangles

Are there any good approximations (especially upper bounds) for the quantity $E(\|X_1-X_2\|$), where each $X_i$ is uniformly distributed in a rectangle $[a_i,b_i]\times[c_i,d_i]$? It does not appear ...

Expectation on a Polish space

I was wondering, if given a Polish space $X$, and given some probability measure $p$ on $X$, can the expectation of an $X$-valued function be taken? In particular, would the integral $\int_X x dp$ ...

Inaccurate results for the analytical expression of $\mathbb{E}\left[ a \mathcal{Q} \left( \sqrt{b } \gamma \right) \right]$

I'm trying to plot a graph for the following expectation $$\mathbb{E}\left[ a \mathcal{Q} \left( \sqrt{b } \gamma \right) \right]=a 2^{-\frac{\kappa }{2}-1} b^{-\frac{\kappa }{2}} \theta ^{-\kappa } \...

Proving bound on expectation of likelihood ratio involving mixtures

Let $p$ be a Lebesgue density function with infinite support (i.e. $p(x)>0 \forall x\in \mathbb{R}$ and $\int p(x) dx = 1$). Moreover, assume that $p$ is even (i.e. $p(x) = p(-x)$) and unimodal: $p(...

Integral form of expectation with respect to complex random variables [closed]

Let $h$ be a random variable and $g(h)$ be a real-valued function of $h$. We know that if h is a real-random variable then: $E_h[g(h)] = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(h) g(h) dh$ where f(h) is the PDF of ...

Bounds on expectation of $X/(X^2 + c)$ with $X$ ~ Gaussian and $c > 0$

I'm trying to compute expectation of $X / (X^2 + c)$ when $X$ is normally distributed with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$, and $c$ is some positive constant. I think this cannot be solved ...
