## Joint absolutely continuous random variables

In the single-variable case, the condition that there are no point mass concentrations on the line ensures the existence of a probability density function, useful in probability calculations.A similar situation exists for a joint distribution for two (or more) variables. For any joint mapping to the plane which assigns zero probability to eachset with zero area (discrete points, line or curve segments, and countable unions of these) there is a density function.

Definition

If the joint probability distribution for the pair $\left\{X,Y\right\}$ assigns zero probability to every set of points with zero area, then there exists a joint density function ${f}_{XY}$ with the property

$P\left[\left(X,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}Y\right)\in Q\right]=\int {\int }_{Q}{f}_{XY}$

We have three properties analogous to those for the single-variable case:

$\text{(f1)}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}{f}_{XY}\ge 0\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{(f2)}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\int {\int }_{{\mathbf{R}}^{2}}{f}_{XY}=1\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{(f3)}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}{F}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)={\int }_{-\infty }^{t}{\int }_{-\infty }^{u}{f}_{XY}$

At every continuity point for ${f}_{XY}$ , the density is the second partial

${f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)=\frac{{\partial }^{2}{F}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)}{\partial t\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}\partial u}$

Now

${F}_{X}\left(t\right)={F}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}\infty \right)={\int }_{-\infty }^{t}{\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{f}_{XY}\left(r,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}s\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}dsdr$

A similar expression holds for ${F}_{Y}\left(u\right)$ . Use of the fundamental theorem of calculus to obtain the derivatives gives the result

${f}_{X}\left(t\right)={\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}s\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}ds\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}{f}_{Y}\left(u\right)={\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{f}_{XY}\left(r,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}du$

Marginal densities . Thus, to obtain the marginal density for the first variable, integrate out the second variablein the joint density, and similarly for the marginal for the second variable.

## Marginal density functions

Let ${f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)=8tu\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0\le u\le t\le 1$ . This region is the triangle bounded by $u=0$ , $u=t$ , and $t=1$ (see [link] )

${f}_{X}\left(t\right)=\int {f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}du=8t{\int }_{0}^{t}u\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}du=4{t}^{3},\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0\le t\le 1$
${f}_{Y}\left(u\right)=\int {f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}dt=8u{\int }_{u}^{1}t\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}dt=4u\left(1-{u}^{2}\right),\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0\le u\le 1$

$P\left(0.5\le X\le 0.75,\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}Y>0.5\right)=P\left[\left(X,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}Y\right)\in Q\right]$ where Q is the common part of the triangle with the strip between $t=0.5$ and $t=0.75$ and above the line $u=0.5$ . This is the small triangle bounded by $u=0.5$ , $u=t$ , and $t=0.75$ . Thus

$p=8{\int }_{1/2}^{3/4}{\int }_{1/2}^{t}tu\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}dudt=25/256\approx 0.0977$

## Marginal distribution with compound expression

The pair $\left\{X,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}Y\right\}$ has joint density ${f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)=\frac{6}{37}\left(t+2u\right)$ on the region bounded by $t=0$ , $t=2$ , $u=0$ , and $u=max\left\{1,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}t\right\}$ (see [link] ). Determine the marginal density f X .

SOLUTION

Examination of the figure shows that we have different limits for the integral with respect to u for $0\le t\le 1$ and for $1 .

• For $0\le t\le 1$
${f}_{X}\left(t\right)=\frac{6}{37}{\int }_{0}^{1}\left(t+2u\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}du=\frac{6}{37}\left(t+1\right)$
• For $1
${f}_{X}\left(t\right)=\frac{6}{37}{\int }_{0}^{t}\left(t+2u\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}du=\frac{12}{37}\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{t}^{2}$

We may combine these into a single expression in a manner used extensively in subsequent treatments. Suppose $M=\left[0,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}1\right]$ and $N=\left(1,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}2\right]$ . Then ${I}_{M}\left(t\right)=1$ for $t\in M$ (i.e., $0\le t\le 1$ ) and zero elsewhere. Likewise, ${I}_{N}\left(t\right)=1$ for $t\in N$ and zero elsewhere. We can, therefore express f X by

${f}_{X}\left(t\right)={I}_{M}\left(t\right)\frac{6}{37}\left(t+1\right)+{I}_{N}\left(t\right)\frac{12}{37}\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{t}^{2}$

## Discrete approximation in the continuous case

For a pair $\left\{X,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}Y\right\}$ with joint density ${f}_{XY}$ , we approximate the distribution in a manner similar to that for a single random variable. We then utilize the techniquesdeveloped for a pair of simple random variables. If we have n approximating values t i for X and m approximating values u j for Y , we then have $n·m$ pairs $\left({t}_{i},\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{u}_{j}\right)$ , corresponding to points on the plane. If we subdivide the horizontal axis for values of X , with constant increments $dx$ , as in the single-variable case, and the vertical axis for values of Y , with constant increments $dy$ , we have a grid structure consisting of rectangles of size $dx·dy$ . We select t i and u j at the midpoint of its increment, so that the point $\left({t}_{i},\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{u}_{j}\right)$ is at the midpoint of the rectangle. If we let the approximating pair be $\left\{{X}^{*},\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{Y}^{*}\right\}$ , we assign

${p}_{ij}=P\left(\left({X}^{*},\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{Y}^{*}\right),=,\left({t}_{i},\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{u}_{j}\right)\right)=P\left({X}^{*}={t}_{i},\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}{Y}^{*}={u}_{j}\right)=P\left(\left(X,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}Y\right)\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{in}\phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}ij\text{th}\phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}\text{rectangle)}$

As in the one-variable case, if the increments are small enough,

$P\left(\left(X,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}Y\right)\in \phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}ij\text{th}\phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}\text{rectangle)}\approx dx·dy·{f}_{XY}\left({t}_{i},\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}{u}_{j}\right)$

The m-procedure tuappr calls for endpoints of intervals which include the ranges of X and Y and for the numbers of subintervals on each. It then prompts for an expression for ${f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)$ , from which it determines the joint probability distribution. It calculates the marginal approximatedistributions and sets up the calculating matrices t and u as does the m-process jcalc for simple random variables. Calculations are then carried outas for any joint simple pair.

## Approximation to a joint continuous distribution

${f}_{XY}\left(t,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}u\right)=3\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{on}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0\le u\le {t}^{2}\le 1$

Determine $P\left(X\le 0.8,\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}Y>0.1\right)$ .

The discrete approximation may be used to obtain approximate plots of marginal distribution and density functions.
