Abstract
A method for calculating probability functions and moments of a distri bution of isotopomers, constructed by Kelleher and Masterson (2), is d escribed. The method involves the use of the so-called probability-gen erating functions, a mathematical device especially convenient for the purpose of calculation of probabilistic quantities in discrete models of the Kelleher-Masterson type.
