摘要

SUMMARY In this paper the moment generating function (m.g.f.) of the truncated n-dimensional normal distribution is obtained. From the m.g.f., formulae for E(Xi) and E(Xi Xj) are derived, and are used to investigate certain special cases. Some applications of these results to statistical genetics are also discussed.
