“…Like the transmission, which was discussed earlier, the resistance is not a statistically well behaved quantity since its fluctuations increase faster than its average with system size. Nevertheless, various approaches have been used to compute the moments of the resistance [34,35,40,44], and the scaling behavior of resistance with system size attracted a great deal of attention [33,35,39]. Our formalism does not offer significant advantages for computing the disorder average of the resistance; nonetheless, we carry out the calculation for the sake of completeness of the formulation developed in this paper.…”
