Abstract

A new estimate of the probability density function (PDF) of the sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed (IID) random variables is shown. The sum PDF is represented as a sum of normal PDFs weighted according to the PDF. The analytical model is verified by numerical simulations. The comparison is made by the Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit test.
