A joint distribution of two random

variables has a probability function that is a

function of two variables
sometimes denoted as
Let f(x, y) denote the joint probability
function of random variables X and Y
Let A= g1(X, Y) and B = g2(X, Y) be two random
variables defined as function of both X and Y.
Each value of the pair X and Y is associated to
one-to-one transformation that maps X onto
the space of A and Y into B.
X= g1 (A, B) and Y=g2(A, B)

* H(A,B) = f [g1(a,b), g2 (a,b)]
