Multivariate random variable Joint probability mass function The joint probability mass function πβπ of a discrete multivariate random variable βπ :π ββπ is prob πβπ(βπ±)=β(βπ=βπ±) In order to find the probability mass function of a single component ππ of βπ, called the marginal probability mass function, one can sum over all other components β(ππ=π¦)=ββπ±:π₯π=π¦πβπ(βπ±) tidy | en | SemBr
