I don't understand this behaviour. Consider:
D1 =
TransformedDistribution[{u, v + 1}, {u \[Distributed] UniformDistribution[{0, 1}], v \[Distributed] UniformDistribution[{0, 1}]}];
RandomVariate[D1, {3}]
{{0.7615750941433532, 1.3679530660935457},
{0.244892942700228, 1.060960354163685},
{0.7802933339717009, 1.5833190582890353}}
Fine, as expected. Next:
D2 =
TransformedDistribution[{u, v^2}, {u \[Distributed] UniformDistribution[{0, 1}], v \[Distributed] UniformDistribution[{0, 1}]}];
RandomVariate[D2, {3}]
{{0.06686173309743126, 0.21489944889140244},
{0.38263698808007707, 0.45277199160209924},
{0.07060737924762184, 0.10567112037126829}}
Again fine. Now let's try a simple product:
D3 = TransformedDistribution[{u,v}, {u \[Distributed] UniformDistribution[{0, 1}], v \[Distributed] UniformDistribution[{0, 1}]}];
RandomVariate[D3, {3}]
RandomVariate[TransformedDistribution[{\[FormalX]1,\[FormalX]2},{\[FormalX]1\[Distributed]UniformDistribution[{0,1}],\[FormalX]2\[Distributed]UniformDistribution[{0,1}]}],{3}]
Doesn't work. Why?
(Of course one I can get the answer using ProductDistribution etc. but that is not the point ....)
