canonic.m The procedure determines the distribution for a simple random variable in affine form, when the minterm probabilities are available. Input data are a row vector of coefficientsfor the indicator functions in the affine form (with the constant value last) and a row vector of the probabilities of the minterm generated by the events. Results consist of a row vector of values and arow vector of the corresponding probabilities.

canonicf.m function [x,px] = canonicf(c,pm) is a function version of canonic, which allows arbitrary naming of variables.

jcalc.m Sets up for calculations for joint simple random variables. The matrix P of P ( X = t i , Y = u j ) is arranged as on the plane (i.e., values of Y increase upward). The MATLAB function meshgrid is applied to the row matrix X and the reversed row matrix for Y to put an appropriate X -value and Y -value at each position. These are in the “calculating matrices” t and u , respectively, which are used in determining probabilities and expectations of various functions of t , u .
