What is a measure of "jointness" of a joint distribution? Correlation?
The discussion centers on the concept of "jointness" in joint distributions, specifically questioning its definition and relevance. Participants agree that correlation serves as a reliable measure of the relationship between random variables, effectively indicating the degree of jointness. The term "jointness" itself lacks established usage in statistical literature, making correlation the preferred metric for analyzing joint distributions.
