Conditional density and Uniform distribution

61 Views Asked by At

$Y=X+\xi X$, $X \sim \operatorname{Unif}[-1, 1]$, $\xi \sim \operatorname{Unif}[0, 1]$. $X$ and $\xi$ are independent.

I need to find $f_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)$. How to do it? I couldn't find joint probability. Any hints? I think the questions of finding the joint density and the conditional density are equivalent, because it is expressed through each other

The main issue is to derive the joint density

Setting

$Y=X+\xi X$ and $Z=X$ the jacobian is $|J|=1/|z|$ thus the joint density results to me

$$f_{XY}(x, y)=\frac{1}{2|x|}\Big[\mathbb{1}_{[-1;0)}(x)\mathbb{1}_{(2x;x)}(y) + \mathbb{1}_{(0;1]}(x)\mathbb{1}_{(x;2x)}(y) \Big]$$
