Abstract

In Chapters 3 and 4, we studied probability models for a single random variable. Many problems in probability and statistics lead to models involving several random variables simultaneously. In this chapter, we first discuss probability models for the joint behavior of several random variables, putting special emphasis on the case in which the variables are independent of each other. We then study expected values of functions of several random variables, including covariance and correlation as measures of the degree of association between two variables.
