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

The marginal distributions of Xand Y are both univariate normal distributions. The conditional distribution of Y given Xis a normal distribution. The conditional distribution of Xgiven Y is a normal distribution. Linear combinations of Xand Y (such as Z= 2X+4Y) follow a normal distribution. It’s normal almost any way you slice it. 2

If both have discrete distributions, with X taking values x1;x2;:::and Y taking values y1;y2;:::, then everything about the joint behavior of X and Y can be deduced from the set of probabilities

CHAPTER 2 Estimating Probabilities

scribes joint probability distributions over many variables, and shows how they can be used to calculate a target P(YjX). It also considers the problem of learning, or estimating, probability distributions from training data, pre-senting the two most common approaches: maximum likelihood estimation and maximum a posteriori estimation.

Joint and Marginal Distributions October 23, 2008 We will now consider more than one random variable at a time. As we shall see, developing the theory of multivariate distributions will allow us to consider situations that model the actual collection of data and form the foundation of inference based on those data. 1 Discrete Random Variables
