Thread: Characteristic Function of Product of Random Variables

Hi,

I am trying to calculate the characteristic function of X*Y where both X and Y are standard normal variables with correlation coefficient p. I have succeeded in the case where p = 0 using the law of iterated expectations E{X} = E{E{X|Y}} but have failed in this case.

Thanks for taking the time.
