Dear Torsten
thanks your reply
In the part of my thesis I obtain a vector of random variables that is I=1xn - matrix.
then I must to calculate "contrast (I)" , the definition of contrast is contrast(x)=E(x^2)/(E(x))^2
and E(.) denoted the expectation operator.
how could I calculate contrast (I)?
thank you very much
