The resistance ρ of a one-dimensional Anderson model with both diagonal and off-diagonal disorder is studied by analytic and numerical techniques. A recursive method is developed and used to derive an exact scaling law for the average resistance at E= 0 for arbitrary disorder, and for E≠ 0 in the limit of weak disorder. The average resistance grows exponentially with L, the length of the sample, in all cases. The typical resistance ρ ̃= exp [< ln (1+ ρ)>]− 1 is also found to grow exponentially with L in all cases, except for purely off-diagonal disorder at E= 0, where< ln (1+ ρ)>∝ L. An explanation is given for the existence of this special case and it is shown that all our results are consistent with a lognormal probability distribution of the resistance for ρ>> 1. Quantitative estimates are made of the reliability of numerically performed averages which show that a numerical average will converge only very slowly to the analytic result. This provides a qualitative explanation of the slower than linear growth of ln< ρ> with L found in several numerical calculations; its consequences for experiment are also explored.
