Does Sklar's theorem basically say that any arbitrary joint probability distribution of $N$ random variables can be 'normalized' by mapping it onto a joint distribution over an $N$-dimensional unit cube with uniform marginal distributions over $[0,1]^N$?

  • This is a rather straightforward conclusion of the quantile transform. I didn't know it has a name, but yes, the meaning is this.

  • OK, I believe you...but if it is a rather straightforward result, why did it take until 1959 for it to be called out and proven?
