Abstract
The ordinary notion of a bivariate distribution has a natural generalisation. For this generalisation it is shown that a bivariate distribution can be characterised by a Hilbert space H and a family Mp, 0 ≤ p ≤ 1, of subspaces of H. H specifies the marginal distributions whilst Mp is a summary of the dependence structure. This characterisation extends existing ideas on canonical correlation.
