I am searching for a proof of the following theorem:
THEOREM
Suppose (X1,…,Xn) is a random vector with joint density function fX1,…,Xn(x1,…,xn) and g is a smooth transformation on the domain of (X1,…,Xn). Then the joint density of (Y1,…,Yn)=g(X1,…,Xn) is
fY1,…,Yn(y1,…,yn)=fX1,…,Xn(g−1(y1,…,yn))⋅|det
Maybe someone can give me some hints or references to prove this theorem.
Answer
This is straightforward using the change of variable formula, and the characterization
of the law of a variable X by the application
f \ge 0 \to E[f(X)]
