homepage.stat.uiowa.eduJoint Probability Density Function A joint probability density function for the continuous random variable X and Y, de-noted as fXY(x;y), satis es the following properties: 1. fXY(x;y) 0 for all x, y 2. R 1 1 R 1 1 fXY(x;y) dxdy= 1 3. For any region Rof 2-D space P((X;Y) 2R) = Z Z R fXY(x;y) dxdy For when the r.v.’s are continuous. 16
The Poisson and Exponential Distributions
neurophysics.ucsd.eduThe Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution with probability mass function P(x)= e−µµx x!, where x = 0,1,2,..., the mean of the distribution is denoted by µ, and e is the exponential. The variance of this distribution is also equal to µ. The exponential distribution is a continuous distribution with probability density function f ...
6 Probability Density Functions (PDFs)
www.cs.toronto.eduThere is an important subtlety here: a probability density is not a probability per se. For one thing, there is no requirement that p(x) ≤ 1. Moreover, the probability that x attains any one specific value out of the infinite set of possible values isR always zero, e.g. P(x = 5) = 5 5 p(x)dx = 0 for any PDF p(x).

homepage.stat.uiowa.eduThe 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

Distributions with densities that are very non-smooth and have tremendous integrated curvature (i.e., lots of wiggles) may require large numbers of normal components. The success of normal mixture models is also tied to the methods of inference. Given that many multivariate density ap-
