week 9*ConvolutionSuppose X, Y jointly distributed random variables. We want to find the probability / density function of Z=X+Y.
Discrete case
X, Y have joint probability function pX,Y(x,y). Z = z whenever X = x and Y = z x. So the probability that Z = z is the sum over all x of these jointprobabilities. That is
If X, Y independent then
This is known as the convolution of pX(x) and pY(y).

week 9*Change-of-Variables for Double IntegralsConsider the transformation , u = f(x,y), v = g(x,y) and suppose we are interested in evaluating .
Why change variables?In calculus: - to simplify the integrand. - to simplify the region of integration.In probability, want the density of a new random variable which is a function of other random variables.
Example: Suppose we are interested in finding . Further, suppose T is a transformation with T(x,y) = (f(x,y),g(x,y)) = (u,v). Then,
Question: how to get fU,V(u,v) from fX,Y(x,y) ?
In order to derive the change-of-variable formula for double integral, we need the formula which describe how areas are related under the transformation T: R2 R2 defined by u = f(x,y), v = g(x,y).

The Jacobian of a transformation T is the determinant of the Jacobian matrix.
In words: the Jacobian of a transformation T describes the extent to which T increases or decreases area.
