This sharpens, unifies and extends the results of Lorentz and of Kellerer. Given a pair of independent random variables 0 ≤ X, Y ≤ 1, we further study functions 0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 1 such that Z = ϕ (X,Y) satisfies E(Z|X) = X and E(Z|Y) = Y. If there is a solution then there also is a nondecreasing solution ϕ(x,y). These results are applied to tomography and baseball.baseballtomographymarginalsProbabilityArticle
