Hi,
In calculus, there is well-know Taylor expansion:

    f(x)=f(x0) + df/dx* (x-x0)+.....
My question is, do we have a similar expression for a random variable?
some kind of expansion at certain value (For example at its mean value).

Any relevant comments are welcome.
(please reply to this account if possible.)
