Assume $X,Y$ are two independent random variables. Let $Z=f(X,Y)$. If $Z$ is independent of $X$, $f(X,Y)$ is constant in $X$. Is this true?
Let $X\in \mathbb{R}^n$ and $Y\in \mathbb{R}^m$ be two independent random vectors. Then, say that we have a third real valued random variable $Z=f(X,Y)$, with $f$ being measurable.
Say that we know ...

How would you decorrelate a collection of vectors so that two vectors are uncorrelated?
Suppose $X_1, \ldots, X_K$ are all $\mathbb{R}^d$-dimensional random variables each with correlation matrix $\text{Var}(X_k) = \Sigma_{k} \in \mathbb{R}^{d \times d}$. Suppose we observe samples $X_{...

If $cov(x_i,T_i)>0$ can I show $\mathbb{E}[\frac{T'x}{T'T}] > 0$?
x,T are vectors with $cov(x_i,T_i)>0$. Without specifying f(x,T), is it possible to determine the sign of $\mathbb{E}[\frac{T'x}{T'T}]$?

Expected value of product of 2 correlated random vectors
Let x and y be complex Gaussian random vectors with length L, and $\mathbb{E}[x]=a$ and $\mathbb{E}[y]=b$, and they are correlated such that $c = \mathbb{E}\left[\left|\mathbf{\mathit{\mathbf{x}}}^{T}...

probability density of a random vector greater than some value? [duplicate]
In single dimension, the probability that a random variable $X$ is greater than some value $x$ is easily related to the cumulative distribution(c.d.f.) as $Pr(X > x) = 1 - F(x)$ if only $Pr[X \leq ...

$L_2$ norm of product of two vectors
Let's assume we have two matrices $A^{d\times 1}$ and $B^{1 \times e}$, and we define their product as $C^{d\times e}$. Assuming $A,B$ are real valued with all entries in $[-1,1]$.
I can intuitively ...

Suppose $\mathbf{X, Y}$ are independent random vectors. Are their components independent? [duplicate]
Let $\mathbf{X} = (X_1, \dots, X_p)^\top$ and $\mathbf{Y} = (Y_1, \dots, Y_p)^\top$ be independent. Does it then follow that $X_i$ is independent with $Y_j$ i.e. cov$(X_i, Y_j) = 0$?
