What is "RandVar" meant for?

This package introduces classes and methods for random variables (understood as measurable mappings). It extends (and requires) package "distr" and "distrEx" .
A random variable has slots domain and range as well as a slot map;  For the derived classes "RealRandVector", "EuclRandVector" and "EuclRandMatrix" virtually (not in the OO-Sense :-)  every mathematical operation that is possible in R with numeric variables is also possible with objects of our class random variable. In particular groups Math and Arith as well as matrix multiplication . We have functions to check the compatibility of domains, to get the dimension of the random variable, and to evaluate it. Together with a distribution on the domain, we have an expectation as well as a factorized conditional expectation method.
