Let X1,X2,X3 be i.i.d. N(0,1) random variables. Suppose Y1 = X1 + X2 + X3, Y2 = X1 −X2, Y3 =X1 −X3. Find the joint pdf of Y = (Y1,Y2,Y3)′ using : Multivariate normal distribution properties.
given that
X1,X2 and X3 be iid N(0,1)
hence
Y1 = X1 + X2 + X3, Y2 = X1 −X2, Y3 =X1 −X3
adding Y1,Y2 and Y3
Y1+Y2+Y3=X1+X2+X3+X1-X2+X1-X3=3X1
this gives
now
Y2 =X1-X2 gives
Y3=X1-X3 gives
now jacobian is given by
=1/3 [(-2/3)(-2/3)-(1/3)(1/3) -1/3[(1/3)(-2/3)-(1/3)(1/3)]+1/3 [(1/3)(1/3) -(1/3)(-2/3)]
=(1/9) +(1/9) +(1/9) =3/9 =1/3
now joint pdf of X1 ,X2 and X3 is given by
now joint pdf of Y1,Y2 and Y3 is given by
f(y1,y2,y3) =f(x1(y1,y2,y3),x2(y1,y2,y3),x3(y1,y2,y3)) *|J|
