Definition:Marginal Distribution Function

Definition

Consider a bivariate distribution $D$ of two continuous random variables $X$ and $Y$.

The marginal distribution function of $X$ is written $\map {F_1} x$, and similarly for $Y$ where it is written $\map {F_2} y$.

This article, or a section of it, needs explaining. In particular: needs to be expressed properly in terms we already have on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by explaining it. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Explain}} from the code.
