CHAPTER 17: JOINT RANDOM VARIABLES Page 8 of 10 When we are dealing with two random variables, one of the main items of interest is how closely they are associated. The concepts of covariance and correlation are two ways to measure closeness of two random variables. Covariance and Correlation The covariance between X and Y is % K R :, ; ;
A.2 Conditional expectation as a Random Variable Conditional expectations such as E[XjY = 2] or E[XjY = 5] are numbers. If we consider E[XjY = y], it is a number that depends on y. So it is a function of y. In this section we will study a new object E[XjY] that is a random variable. We start with an example. Example: Roll a die until we get a 6.
an experiment. The two random variable case will be explored first. If an experiment is throwing a dart at a board: two random variables that can be associated with the outcome are the distance from the centre of the board and the angle of the dart landing point. If the two random variables under consideration are X and Y, we can define a
the random variables themselves, not the addition of the probability density functions (PDF)s that correspond to the random variables. Independent Binomials with equal p For any two Binomial random variables with the same “success” probability: X ˘Bin(n 1;p) and Y ˘ Bin(n 2;p) the sum of those two random variables is another binomial: X
1.6.1 Independence for Two Random Variables De nition. Two random variables R 1 and R 2 are independent if for all x 1;x 2 2R, we have: Pr((R 1 = x 1) (R 2 = x 2)) = Pr(R 1 = x 1)Pr(R 2 = x 2) The following is an de nition for the independence of two random variables, in terms of conditional probability. This de nition is equivalent to the
Conditional Probability Distributions • Conditional probability distributions can be developed for multiple random variables by extension of the ideas used for two random variables. • Suppose p= 5 and we wish to find the distribution of X

We are going to de ne the conditional expectation of a random variable given 1 an event, 2 another random variable, 3 a ˙-algebra. Conditional expectations can be convenient in some computations. Let X and Y be two discrete random variables. The conditional expectation ErX |Ysof X given Y is the random variable de ned by ErX |Ysp!q ErX |Y If X and Y are independent random vectors, then so are g(X) and h(Y) for Borel functions g and h. Two events A and B are independent iff P(BjA) = P(B), which means that A provides no information about the probability of the occurrence of B. Proposition 1.11 Let X be a random variable with EjXj<¥ and let Yi be random ki-vectors, i = 1;2.
