One must use the "mixed" joint density when finding the cumulative distribution of this binary outcome because the input variables (,) were initially defined in such a way that one could not collectively assign it either a probability density function or a probability mass function.
In probability theory, a probability density function (PDF), density function, or density of an absolutely continuous random variable, is a function whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the ...

when the two marginal functions and the copula density function are known, then the joint probability density function between the two random variables can be calculated, or; when the two marginal functions and the joint probability density function between the two random variables are known, then the copula density function can be calculated.
In probability and statistics, an elliptical distribution is any member of a broad family of probability distributions that generalize the multivariate normal distribution. Intuitively, in the simplified two and three dimensional case, the joint distribution forms an ellipse and an ellipsoid, respectively, in iso-density plots.
The goal of density estimation is to take a finite sample of data and to make inferences about the underlying probability density function everywhere, including where no data are observed. In kernel density estimation, the contribution of each data point is smoothed out from a single point into a region of space surrounding it.
The probability distribution of the sum of two or more independent random variables is the convolution of their individual distributions. The term is motivated by the fact that the probability mass function or probability density function of a sum of independent random variables is the convolution of their corresponding probability mass functions or probability density functions respectively.
One can compute this directly, without using a probability distribution (distribution-free classifier); one can estimate the probability of a label given an observation, (| =) (discriminative model), and base classification on that; or one can estimate the joint distribution (,) (generative model), from that compute the conditional probability ...
