from Part I - Elements of Probability Theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 July 2022
Some experiments lead to considering not one, but several measurements. As before, each measurement is represented by a random variable, and these are stacked into a random vector. For example, in the context of an experiment that consists in flipping a coin multiple times, we defined in a previous chapter as many random variables, each indicating the result of one coin flip. These are then concatenated to form a random vector, compactly describing the outcome of the entire experiment. Concepts such as conditional probability and independence are introduced.
