ProbDistPolyEval
[this page | pdf]
Function Description
Calculates the expected value of a polynomial 
with
coefficients as given in PolyCoeffs (i.e. 
)
between specified lower and upper limits which can be infinite, for a
probability distribution given by DistributionName and with parameter
values given in ParamValues (with their order matching the parameter
names listed by MnProbDistParamNames).
Probability distributions currently recognised by the
website may be listed using MnRecognisedProbDists.
