Abstract
The statistical distribution of a product of variables which have a Gaussian distribution is investigated. These distributions are found to be given, in general, by special functions. Expansions for these functions for small values of the variable and their asymptotic behaviour are derived. The functions are tabulated for products of up to seven variates. Some simple integrals related to the functions are given.
