Title
Algorithms for computing the distributions of sums of discrete random variables
Abstract
We present algorithms for computing the probablity density function of the sum of two independent discrete random variables, along with an implementation of the algorithm in a computer algebra system. Some examples illustrate the utility of this algorithm.
