1 Promote te Use of Two-dimensional Continuous Random Variables Conditional Distribution Feiue Huang Deartment of Economics Dalian University of Tecnology Dalian 604 Cina Tel: Ceng Li Deartment of Economics Dalian University of Tecnology Dalian 604 Cina Abstract Conditional distribution reflects te deendency lin among random variables but two-dimensional random variables Conditional Distribution as some limitations. In order to ric te content of conditional distribution tis aer gives te etension of conditional distribution and eamles in te case of continuous random variables. For te given definition of conditional distribution of tree-dimensional continuous random variables it also gives te roof. Tis article obtains te etension strictly in accordance wit te definition of two-dimensional random variables and it uses te teory of conditional robability to get te roof. So it can get conditional distributions after canging te condition to enric te contents of te conditional distribution. Keywords: Promote te use Continuous random variables Conditional distribution Multi-dimensional random variables Introduction Y are mainly divided into two tyes: indeendence and deendence. Te more evaluations and Y ave te more conditional distributions will be tere. Eac conditional distribution describes one state-secific distribution from a side. So te contents of conditional distribution are ricer and its alications are broader. For in many issues values of concerned random variables tend to influence eac oter tis maes conditional distribution as a owerful tool for studying deendencies among variables(mao Si-song Ceng Yi-ming Pu iao-long. 004). Conditional distribution for random variables derives from conditional robability for random events so tere is a close relationsi between te two and te aroaces to andle tem are te same but conditional distribution is more comle to deal wit(feng Tai Liu De-yin. 985)( Liang Yi. 998). Te relationsis of two-dimensional random variables ( ) In recent years te main researc direction in Cina is te researc of conditional eigenvalues and te etension and alication of conditional distribution. Conditional eigenvalues are mainly ointed to conditional eectation wic is eectation under conditional distribution. In tis area te main contributions are Wang Ceng ou Hailei gave te definition and researced te caracteristics of random variables conditional articular function based on measurement and integral teory(wang Ceng ou Hai-lei. 008); ang Mei used minimum mean-squared error to solve one ind roblems of best rediction and too eamles to analye te alication of conditional eectation in ractical rediction roblems(ang Mei. 006); u ui and Wu Guogeng educed total robability formula of discrete and continuous random variables based on conditional eectation and indicative function I A of random events A(u Hui Wu Guo-gen. 004). For etension of conditional distribution rimacy researces are Ceng Feiyue generalied te condition distribution of te oisson rocess arrival time(cen Fei-yue. 006); Yang Jinging etc. investigated te marginal recursive equations on ecess-of-loss reinsurance treaty under te assumtion tat te number of claims belongs to te family consisting of Poisson binomial and negative binomial and tat te severity distribution and bounded continuous density function(yang Jing-ing Wang iao-qian Ceng Si-ong. 006); Hu Duaning gave a eress formula of distribution for ellitically contoured matri distributions and sowed tat condition distribution of ellitically contoured matri distribution is ellitically contoured distribution yet(hu Duan-ing. 00). In te above study tey focused on te alication of te conditional distribution sowing te researc significance of te conditional distribution but tere is few studies researcing te nature of te conditional distribution. In comarison te studies of conditional distribution abroad are more in-det. For eamle Rodney C.L. Wolff etc studied te metods of evaluating conditional distribution function; Jusan Bai investigated te dynamic model of testing arametric conditional distributions; Peter Hall and Qiwei Yao discussed aroimating 50 ISSN E-ISSN

Hansen studied nonarametric estimation of smoot conditional distributions; Persi Diaconis Bernd Sturmfels analyed conditional distributions using algebraic algoritms for samling. Tey ave sown tat te researces of conditional distribution are multi-faceted and more comle wile mae against undergraduate teacing. In tis resect te aer begins to discuss and analye from te basic content of conditional distribution and educes general formulas wit certain conditions on te basis of te definition of conditional distribution. It first starts form te two-dimensional random variable conditional distribution in te case of continuous random variables and canges te given conditions to obtain te etensions of conditional distribution and ten gives etensions of conditional distribution wen tere are tree-dimensional random variables. And it roves te definition of te given tree-dimensional continuous random variables conditional distribution. Tis aer is to solve te conditional distribution of multidimensional random variables under te given conditions and its results can be used for teacing eending te nowledge of te conditional distribution and facilitating eole s calculations..
