Abstract
Emerson gave recurrence formulae for the calculation of orthonormal polynomials for univariate discrete random variables. He claimed that as these were based on the Christoffel-Darboux recurrence relation they were more efficient than those based on the Gram-Schmidt method. This approach was generalised by Rayner and colleagues to arbitrary univariate random variables. The only constraint was that the expectations needed are well-defined. Here the approach is extended to arbitrary bivariate random variables for which the expectations needed are well-defined. The extension to multivariate random variables is clear.
