In laypersons terms, can someone simplify what it means in multivariate distribution what it means by the double sigma in the conditions for discrete variables and double integral for continuous variables.
My read is that you take the sum of the values possible for all combinations of X and Y for the discrete variables. Am I on the right track for that one?
For continuous, does it mean that you integrate with respect to both X and Y and, if so, do you have an example with a formula that you could attach as a word file? No problems with this. Found a question as an example and it is all good!
Cheers,
Miles
