New JointDist Module #3259

OAGr commented 1 month ago

Description of suggestion or shortcoming:

When there are many sets of correlated samples, we basically have an empirical joint distribution or a joint sample (different names, same thing here). Once you have this, there are some nice things you could do with it.

You can answer questions like:

It would be neat to explore design decisions here.

This can be useful for functions / function modules, when you're dealing with a cluster of some highly correlated variables.

I imagine there are also some really neat UIs to show this information.
