- 2005, Robb J. Muirhead, Aspects of Multivariate Statistical Theory, John Wiley & Sons, page 303, If X is a positive random variable with density function f(x), the Mellin transform M(s) gives the (s-l)th moment of X. Hence Theorem 8.2.6 gives the Mellin transform of W evaluated at s=h+1; that is, M(h+1)=E(Wh). The inverse Mellin transform gives the density function of W.
