OccupationActor/Comedian/Writer

Brian Gallivan is an American actor, writer and comedian. He gained significant attention for his Second City Network web series Sassy Gay Friend, based on a character he created in 2004 Second City mainstage revue Red Scare. The series shows events that may have transpired if famous women (and a few men) in literature, film and history had been advised by the titular character.[1]

Career

Gallivan got his start improvising in his hometown of Boston as well as performing at the Bambi Masterpiece Theater,[2] before moving to Chicago in 2003,[3] where he performed at The Second City between 2003 and 2007, appearing in four mainstage revues, including the long-running Between Barack and a Hard Place. He was twice nominated for Joseph Jefferson Awards for his work while there.[4]

Gallivan appeared in the Matt Damon film The Informant! and in the Derek Westerman web series Bad Dads alongside Michael Cera. Gallivan appeared in the feature film A Thousand Words.

Gallivan was a writer on the NBC sitcom Are You There, Chelsea? and the ABC comedy series Happy Endings.

For the 2014–15 television season, Gallivan created and produced the CBS television sitcom The McCarthys,[5] which was cancelled in early 2015.

矩生成函數

在概率論和統計學中，一個實數值隨機變量的動差母函數（moment-generating function）又稱動差生成函數，矩亦被稱作动差，矩生成函數是其概率分佈的一種替代規範。 因此，與直接使用概率密度函數或累積分佈函數相比，它為分析結果提供了替代途徑的基礎。 對於由隨機變量的加權和定義的分佈的矩生成函數，有特別簡單的結果。 然而，並非所有隨機變量都具有矩生成函數。
