Abstract

An explicit formula of a multivariate B-spline, some useful investigations in the field of linear transformations of independent exponentially distributed random variables, representation of theirs density functions with the help of multivariate exponential spline functions, and their usage are considered. The consideration is illustrated by an appropriate example.
