If X, Y are independent, then X, Y are uncorrelated but converse is not true (except for gaussian) If R XY = 0 X, Y are orthogonal.

33 Chapter 5: Operations on Multiple Random Variables 33 Summary Extend chapter 3 to work on multiple random variables. Topics extended were: Expected values were developed of functions of random variables, which included both joint moments about the origin and central moments, as well as joint characteristic functions that are useful in finding moments. New moments of special interest were correlation and covariance. Multiple gaussian random variables were defined. Transformation results were used to show how linear transformation of jointly gaussian random variables is especially important, as it produces random variables that are also joint gaussian. Some new material on the basics of sampling and estimation of mean, power, and variance was given. Definition of complex random variables and their characteristics.
