Chapter 4. Common Multivariate Random Variables Study Notes contains 23 pages covering the following learning objectives:
* Explain how a probability matrix can be used to express a probability mass function.
* Compute the marginal and conditional distributions of a discrete bivariate random variable.
* Explain how the expectation of a function is computed for a bivariate discrete random variable.
* Define covariance and explain what it measures.
* Explain the relationship between the covariance and correlation of two random variables, and how these are related to the independence of the two variables.
* Explain the effects of applying linear transformations on the covariance and correlation between two random variables.
* Compute the variance of a weighted sum of two random variables.
* Compute the conditional expectation of a component of a bivariate random variable.
* Describe the features of an iid sequence of random variables.
* Explain how the iid property is helpful in computing the mean and variance of a sum of iid random variables.
After reviewing these notes on Multivariate Random Variables, you will be able to apply what you learned with practice questions.
