    Abstract: This paper presents properties and approximations of a random variable based on the zero–order modified Bessel function that results from the compounding of a zero-mean Gaussian with a χ12-distributed variance. This family of distributions is a special case of the McKay family of Bessel distributions and of a family of generalized Laplace dist... Show More
