APPLYING FISHER’S AND STUDENT’S LAWS IN PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION CALCULATION METHODS
LOYARA Vini Yves Bernadin, OUOBA Fabrice et BAGRE Rémi Guillaume
The purpose of this paper is to discover a method for creating joint distributions that establishes a solid foundation for a new distribution model. The technique used to design a joint distribution is through the use of the mathematical expectation of an application with two variables. We obtain new joint probability density functions using t(...)
