Description
The purpose of this article is to formulate a number of probabilistic hidden-variable theorems, to provide proofs in some cases, and counterexamples to some conjectured relationships. The first theorem is the fundamental one. It asserts the general equivalence of the existence of a hidden variable and the existence of a joint probability distribution of the observed quatities, whether finite or continuous.

Additional conditions on the existence of joint probability distributions as well as theorems on mapping from higher spin systems to two state variables
