We consider a dynamical system consisting of a compact subset of RN or CN with several contracting maps chosen with prescribed probabilities, which may depend on position. We show that if the maps and the probabilities are Cl+α functions of the spatial variable and an external parameter, then the average value of a Cl+α function is a differentiate function of the parameter. One implication of this theorem is that for certain families of complex functions dependent on a parameter the reciprocal of the dimension of an invariant measure on the Julia set is a harmonic function of the parameter.
