Multivariate random variable
Encyclopedia : M : MU : MUL : Multivariate random variable
A multivariate random variable or random vector is a vector X = (X1, ..., Xn) whose components are scalar-valued random variables on the same probability space (Ω, P). Every such random vector gives rise to a probability measure on Rn with the Borel algebra as underlying sigma-algebra. This measure is also known as the joint distribution of the random vector. The distributions of each of the component random variables Xi are called marginal distributions.
