It seems clear that both age and gender have an e ect on someone’s survival, how do we come up with a model that will let us explore this relationship? Even if we set Died to 0 and Survived to 1, this isn’t something we can transform our way out of - we need something more. One way to think about the problem - we can treat Survived and Died as

Joint Probabilities For two events, E and F, the joint probability, written P(EF), is the the probability that both events occur. For example, let E be “the probability that a die roll is even” and F be “the probability that a die roll is greater than 3”. We have the following sets to describe each event: E = {2, 4, 6} F = {4, 5, 6}

Inference in Bayesian Networks - MIT OpenCourseWare

Using the joint distribution. To answer any query involving a conjunction of variables, sum over the variables not involved in the query. Given the joint distribution over the variables, we can easily answer any question about the value of a single variable by summing (or marginalizing) over the other variables.

Joint and Marginal Distributions

The joint cumulative distribution function is right continuous in each variable. It has limits at −∞ and +∞ similar to the univariate cumulative distribution function. • lim y→−∞ F X,Y (x,y) = 0 and lim x→−∞ F X,Y (x,y) = 0. • lim x,y→∞ F X,Y (x,y) = 1. In addition, lim y→∞ F X,Y (x,y) = F X(x) and lim x→∞ F X ...
