Jun 17, 2015 i am not sure what do you mean by conditional probability of 3 dependent random variable. The proof for this follows from the definitions of multivariate normal distributions and linear algebra. The conditional expectation or conditional mean, or conditional expected value of a random variable is the expected value of the random variable itself, computed with respect to its conditional probability distribution as in the case of the expected value, a completely rigorous definition of conditional expected value requires a complicated.

Cross validated is a question and answer site for people interested in statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization. Conditional expectation of random sum of random variables. This always holds if the variables are independent, but mean independence is a weaker condition. And as an application, we calculate the conditional expectation of density of zeros of gaussian random sections of powers of a positive line bundle that vanish along a fixed smooth subvariety.
