Extract
1. Introductory discussion and summary. Consider a sequence {ui} of independent real or complex-valued random variables such that E(ui) = 1, and a sequence of mutually exclusive events S1, S2,…, such that Si depends only on u1, u2, …,ui, with ΣP(Sj) = 1. Define the random variable n = n(u1, u2,…) = m when Sm occurs. We shall obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions under which
referred to as the product theorem.
