joint cumulative distribution function
Let be random variables all defined on the same probability space
. The joint cumulative distribution function of , denoted by , is the following function:
As in the unidimensional case, this function satisfies:
- 1.
and
- 2.
is a monotone
, nondecreasing function.
- 3.
is continuous
from the right in each variable.
The way to evaluate is the following:
(if is continuous) or
(if is discrete),
where is the joint density function of .
