A
random vector
is said to be absolutely continuous or,
simply, continuous if its support
has the power of the continuum and the probability that
assumes a value in a given
hyper-rectangle
can
be expressed as a multiple
integral:
where
the integrand function
is called the joint probability density function of
.
More details about absolutely continuous random vectors can be found in the lecture entitled Random vectors.
