Chapter 5: JOINT PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS Part 1 ...
Chapter 5: JOINT PROBABILITY . DISTRIBUTIONS . Part 1: Sections to For both discrete and continuous random variables we will discuss the JOINT DISTRIBUTIONS (for two or more 's). Marginal DISTRIBUTIONS (computed from a JOINT distribution ). Conditional DISTRIBUTIONS ( P (Y = y|X = x)). Independence for 's X and Y. This is a good time to refresh your memory on double-integration. We will be using this skill in the upcom- ing lectures. 1. Recall a discrete PROBABILITY distribution (or pmf ) for a single X with the example be- x 0 1 2. f (x) Sometimes we're simultaneously interested in two or more variables in a random experiment. We're looking for a relationship between the two variables. Examples for discrete 's Year in college vs. Number of credits taken Number of cigarettes smoked per day vs.
Marginal Probability Density Function If Xand Y are continuous random variables with joint probability density function fXY(x;y), then the marginal density functions for Xand Y are fX(x) = Z y fXY(x;y) dy and fY(y) = Z x fXY(x;y) dx where the rst integral is over all points in the range of (X;Y) for which X = x, and the second integral is over ...
