1 Random Vectors Joint distribution of a random vector Joint distributionof of a random vector Marginal and conditional distributions Previousl, we studied probabilit distributions of a random variable. However, in man occasions we are interested on studing more than one variable in a random eperiment. For eample, signals (sent or received) can be classified, attending to their qualit as: low, medium, high. We define number of signals of low qualit, and number of signals of high qualit. Mean Variance, Covariance, Correlation In general, if and are random variables, the probabilit distribution that describe them simultaneousl is called joint probabilit distribution Multivariate Normal distribution Joint distribution of a random vector Joint distribution of a random vector Discrete variables Given two discrete r.v.,, we define their probabilit function as: p(, ) Pr(, ) As in the univariate case, this function should satisfied that: p (, ) 0 p (, ) A new receptor for the transmission of digital information receives bit that Are classified as acceptable, suspicious or non-acceptable, depending on The qualit of the signal received. 4 bits are transmitted, and two r.v. are defined: Number of bit acceptable Number of suspicious bit The joint distribution function is: F(, ) Pr(, ) Pr(, )

The distribution of each variable is called marginal distribution. Discrete variables Given two discrete r.v.,, with joint probabilit function p(, ) the marginal probabilit functions are given b: p ( ) Pr( ) Pr(, ) p ( ) Pr( ) Pr(, ) The are probabilit functions We can compute their mean, variance, etc. Multivariate Normal distribution 5

Mean We define the vector of means as the vector whose components are the means of each component. μ [ ] [ ] [ ] E E M E E [ ] n 39 Covariance We start b defining the covariance between two variables: It is measure of the linear relationship between two variables ( [ ])( [ ]) [ ] [ ] [ ] Cov(, ) E E E E E E Properties If, are independent Cov(, ) 0 since E [ ] E [ ] E [ ] If Cov(, ) 0, are independent Z a + b If we change scale and origin: Cov( Z, W ) abcov(, ) W c + d 40

We know that + 4 when is close to 4, is close to 0 Therefore, the covariance is negative.
