I don't know how to get Mathematica to get the joint distribution explicitly for a general value of $n$ but here is how one can easily see the pattern to figure out the general solution.



First the distribution of the mean:



marginalDistribution = TransformedDistribution[Sum[y[i], i, n]/n, 
Table[y[i] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], i, n],
Assumptions -> [Sigma] > 0]
#, marginalDistribution/.n-># &/@Range[2,10]


$$
beginarraycc
2 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt2right] \
3 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt3right] \
4 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma 2right] \
5 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt5right] \
6 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt6right] \
7 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt7right] \
8 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma 2 sqrt2right] \
9 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma 3right] \
10 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt10right] \
endarray
$$



So we see that the marginal distribution of $bary$ is



NormalDistribution[0, σ/Sqrt[n]]


The joint distribution of $bary$ and, say, $y_1$ is given by



jointDistribution = TransformedDistribution[y[1], Sum[y[i], i, n]/n, 
Table[y[i] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], i, n]]
#, jointDistribution /. n -> # & /@ Range[2, 10] // TableForm


$$
beginarraycc
2 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^22 \
fracsigma ^22 & fracsigma ^22 \
endarray
right)right] \
3 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^23 \
fracsigma ^23 & fracsigma ^23 \
endarray
right)right] \
4 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^24 \
fracsigma ^24 & fracsigma ^24 \
endarray
right)right] \
5 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^25 \
fracsigma ^25 & fracsigma ^25 \
endarray
right)right] \
6 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^26 \
fracsigma ^26 & fracsigma ^26 \
endarray
right)right] \
7 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^27 \
fracsigma ^27 & fracsigma ^27 \
endarray
right)right] \
8 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^28 \
fracsigma ^28 & fracsigma ^28 \
endarray
right)right] \
9 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^29 \
fracsigma ^29 & fracsigma ^29 \
endarray
right)right] \
10 & textMultinormalDistributionleft[0,0,left(
beginarraycc
sigma ^2 & fracsigma ^210 \
fracsigma ^210 & fracsigma ^210 \
endarray
right)right] \
endarray
$$



So the general distribution is a multivariate normal



MultinormalDistribution[0, 0, σ^2, σ^2/n, σ^2/n, σ^2/n]


The general form of the joint density function can then be found with



FullSimplify[PDF[MultinormalDistribution[0, 0, σ^2, σ^2/n, σ^2/n, σ^2/n], y, ybar],
Assumptions -> σ > 0, n > 1]


$$fracn e^-fracn left(n textybar^2+y^2-2 y textybarright)2 (n-1) sigma ^22 pi sqrtn-1 sigma ^2$$

Here is the distribution of $x=overliney$ (Part I of your question):



n = 5; (* for example *)
a = Table[y[k] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], k, 1, n];
TransformedDistribution[Sum[y[k]/n, k, 5], a]


The result is



NormalDistribution[0, Abs[[Sigma]]/Sqrt[5]]


UPDATE



Okay, here is how to do it with $n$ a variable:



a[n_] := Table[y[k] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], k, 1, n]; 
p[n_] := TransformedDistribution[Sum[y[k]/n, k, n], a[n]];


Now



x [Distributed] p[5] (* n=5, for example *)


Again, the result is



x [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, Abs[[Sigma]]/Sqrt[5]]

    Let's go with five because it is clearer. The result is NormalDistribution[0,[Sigma]/Sqrt[5]]. Not sure why Mathematica puts Abs[] around $sigma$. Obviously, $sigma>0$.

$begingroup$

just modified @mjw's answer,



n = 100;(*for example*)ClearAll[y]; 
a = Table[y[k] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], k, 1, n];
meanDist = TransformedDistribution[Sum[y[k]/100, k, 100], a]


JointDistribution can be composed by ProductDistribution,
if these random variables are independent.

if not,you have to use Copula



joint = ProductDistribution[meanDist, 
Last@*List @@ Part[a, 1]] /. [Sigma] -> 1;
RandomVariate[joint, 100] // Histogram3D


enter image description here



joint = ProductDistribution[meanDist, 
Last@*List @@ Part[a, 1]] /. [Sigma] -> 1;
m1 = RandomVariate[meanDist /. [Sigma] -> 1, 100000];
m2 = RandomVariate[
Last@*List @@ Part[a, 1] /. [Sigma] -> 1, 100000];
Correlation[Thread[List[m1, m2]]]
ListPlot[Thread[List[m1, m2]]]


=>



1., -0.00256777, -0.00256777, 1.


enter image description here

I'm not sure about correlation,but it's okay.

  • $begingroup$
    I believe that the distributions are not independent. Since $overlinex$ is computed from $y_i$ and other $y_j$'s, it would seem to be dependent. We could compute whether or not the distributions are dependent ...

$$

So we see that the marginal distribution of $bary$ is

So the general distribution is a multivariate normal



MultinormalDistribution[0, 0, σ^2, σ^2/n, σ^2/n, σ^2/n]


The general form of the joint density function can then be found with



FullSimplify[PDF[MultinormalDistribution[0, 0, σ^2, σ^2/n, σ^2/n, σ^2/n], y, ybar],
Assumptions -> σ > 0, n > 1]


$$fracn e^-fracn left(n textybar^2+y^2-2 y textybarright)2 (n-1) sigma ^22 pi sqrtn-1 sigma ^2$$

I don't know how to get Mathematica to get the joint distribution explicitly for a general value of $n$ but here is how one can easily see the pattern to figure out the general solution.



First the distribution of the mean:



marginalDistribution = TransformedDistribution[Sum[y[i], i, n]/n, 
Table[y[i] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], i, n],
Assumptions -> [Sigma] > 0]
#, marginalDistribution/.n-># &/@Range[2,10]


$$
beginarraycc
2 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt2right] \
3 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt3right] \
4 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma 2right] \
5 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt5right] \
6 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt6right] \
7 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt7right] \
8 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma 2 sqrt2right] \
9 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma 3right] \
10 & textNormalDistributionleft[0,fracsigma sqrt10right] \
endarray
$$



So we see that the marginal distribution of $bary$ is



NormalDistribution[0, σ/Sqrt[n]]


The joint distribution of $bary$ and, say, $y_1$ is given by



jointDistribution = TransformedDistribution[y[1], Sum[y[i], i, n]/n, 
Table[y[i] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], i, n]]
#, jointDistribution /. n -> # & /@ Range[2, 10] // TableForm

Here is the distribution of $x=overliney$ (Part I of your question):



n = 5; (* for example *)
a = Table[y[k] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], k, 1, n];
TransformedDistribution[Sum[y[k]/n, k, 5], a]


The result is



NormalDistribution[0, Abs[[Sigma]]/Sqrt[5]]


UPDATE



Okay, here is how to do it with $n$ a variable:



a[n_] := Table[y[k] [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, [Sigma]], k, 1, n]; 
p[n_] := TransformedDistribution[Sum[y[k]/n, k, n], a[n]];


Now



x [Distributed] p[5] (* n=5, for example *)


Again, the result is



x [Distributed] NormalDistribution[0, Abs[[Sigma]]/Sqrt[5]]

JointDistribution can be composed by ProductDistribution,
if these random variables are independent.

if not,you have to use Copula

if not,you have to use Copula



joint = ProductDistribution[meanDist, 
Last@*List @@ Part[a, 1]] /. [Sigma] -> 1;
RandomVariate[joint, 100] // Histogram3D


enter image description here



joint = ProductDistribution[meanDist, 
Last@*List @@ Part[a, 1]] /. [Sigma] -> 1;
m1 = RandomVariate[meanDist /. [Sigma] -> 1, 100000];
m2 = RandomVariate[
Last@*List @@ Part[a, 1] /. [Sigma] -> 1, 100000];
Correlation[Thread[List[m1, m2]]]
ListPlot[Thread[List[m1, m2]]]


=>



1., -0.00256777, -0.00256777, 1.


enter image description here

I'm not sure about correlation,but it's okay.

    I believe that the distributions are not independent. Since $overlinex$ is computed from $y_i$ and other $y_j$'s, it would seem to be dependent. We could compute whether or not the distributions are dependent ...

    I would also recommend using 10^6 rather than 100, you'll get a sharper plot!

    Exactly, the two variables are not independent unfortunately
