This paper is devoted to the computation of statistical characteristics of
the response of discrete vibration systems with a random external excitation.
The excitation can act at multiple points and is modeled by a time-shifted
random process and its derivatives up to the second order. Statistical characteristics
of the response are given by expansions as to the correlation length
of a weakly correlated random process which is used in the excitation model.
As the main result analytic expressions of some integrals involved in the expansion terms are derived.
