How did they come up with joint PDF representation?

76 Views Asked by At

I am looking at this problem, and get it up to the calculation of the joint PDF, which is 1/12. From that point, I do not get how they achieve the parallelogram. Could someone please tell me? Thank you.

Found the answer in this video.

From the inequality $\theta - 1 \leq x \leq \theta + 1$, two equations are obtained:

$\theta \leq x + 1$, and

$\theta \geq x - 1$.

Plot them on the $\theta$ vs $x$ plane, we got the shown graph.

exp

The conditional expectation $\mathbf E[\Theta\mid X=x]$ of the uniformly distributed $\Theta$ is just the midpoint of that uniform distribution. This explain the plot of $\mathbf E[\Theta\mid X=x]$ inside the parallelogram.
