Key Concepts

Conditional Expectation

Conditional expectation, denoted E(Y|X=x), represents the mean or expected value of the random variable Y when the random variable X is fixed at a particular value. It is calculated by integrating (or summing) over all possible values of Y, weighting them by the conditional density f(Y|X=x), and provides a measure of central tendency of Y under the condition imposed.

Conditional Variance

Conditional variance, written V(Y|X=x), measures the variability of the random variable Y given that X equals a certain value. It quantifies how spread out the values of Y are around the conditional mean E(Y|X=x) and is computed as the difference between the conditional expectation of Y squared, E(Y^2|X=x), and the square of the conditional expectation, [E(Y|X=x)]^2.

Joint Distribution

A joint distribution specifies the probability behavior of two or more random variables taken together. It characterizes how the variables interact and allows one to derive marginal distributions, which describe the behavior of each variable on its own, as well as conditional distributions for one variable given a certain value of another.

Conditional Density Function

The conditional density (or conditional probability mass) function of a random variable given another is derived from the joint distribution by normalizing with the marginal distribution of the given variable. Essentially, it is computed as f(Y|X=x) = f(X=x, Y=y) / f_X(x), providing the probability distribution of Y when X is fixed at a specific value.
