Abstract
The Laguerre transform introduced in Keilson and Nunn (1979), and Keilson, Nunn and Sumita (1981) provides an algorithmic basis for the computation of multiple convolutions in conjunction with other algebraic and summation operations. In this paper we demonstrate the power of the Laguerre transform method by calculating the k—fold convolution of the logistic and the folded logistic distribution. Structural tables and graphs are given.Keywords
