Transformation technique for bivariate continuous random variables. Note that the only parameter in the bivariate standard normal distribution is the correlation. Similar to our discussion on normal random variables, we start by introducing the standard bivariate normal distribution and then obtain the general case from the standard.

The product of two gaussian random variables is not gaussian distributed. The basic idea is that we can start from several independent random variables and by considering their linear combinations, we can obtain bivariate normal random variables.
