%0 Journal Article %T A Matrix Variance Inequality for k-Functions %A Norhayati Rosli %A Wan Muhamad Amir W Ahmad %J Matematika %D 2007 %I Universiti Teknologi Malaysia %X In this paper a course of solving variational problem is considered. [2] obtained what appears to be specialized inequality for a variance, namely, that for a standard normal variable X , V ar[g(x)] ¡Ý E[g¡¯(x)]2 . However both of the simplicity and usefulness of the inequality has generated a plethora of extensions, as well as alternative proofs. [5] had focused on a result of two random variables for the normal and gamma distribution. They obtained the result of normal distribution with k functions, without proving and the proof is presented here. This paper also extend the result obtained by [5] to the k functions for the gamma distribution. %K Normal Distribution %K Gamma Distribution %K Laguerre Family %K Hermite Polynomials. %U http://www.fs.utm.my/matematika/images/stories/matematika/20072311.pdf
