Jan 11, 2021 at 20:26 comment added JimB OK. I see now. The expectation of the square of a random variable is the sum of the variance and the square of the mean (assuming the variance and mean exist). Rather than performing the known integration I just used a replacement rule.
Jan 11, 2021 at 20:01 comment added granular_bastard no, just try to understand the step. Can also be answered here: mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/238037
Jan 11, 2021 at 19:49 comment added JimB Do you have an alternative in mind?
Jan 11, 2021 at 19:18 comment added granular_bastard Why the replacement must be performed in the given way? mean = taylor //. z[i_]^2 -> [Sigma]^2 + [Mu][i]^2;
Jan 28, 2020 at 14:41 comment added granular_bastard A computer simulation might help for a few cases but not in general.
Jan 28, 2020 at 14:37 comment added JimB It might just be that estimating the mean through random samples is the way to go which doesn't take too much computer time if you just have to do a few of these.
Jan 27, 2020 at 4:46 comment added granular_bastard The solution diverges if vectors become parallel. It cannot be applied in the case that is described here: math.stackexchange.com/questions/3520115/…

Added in comment about also estimating the mean through random samples.
