We study functional dependencies together with two different probabilistic dependency notions: unary marginal identity and unary marginal distribution equivalence. A unary marginal identity states that two variables x and y are identically distributed. A unary marginal distribution equivalence states that the multiset consisting of the marginal probabilities of all the values for variable x is the same as the corresponding multiset for y. We present a sound and complete axiomatization for the class of these dependencies and show that it has Armstrong relations. The axiomatization is infinite, but we show that there can be no finite axiomatization. The implication problem for the subclass that contains only functional dependencies and unary marginal identities can be simulated with functional dependencies and unary inclusion atoms, and therefore the problem is in polynomial-time. This complexity bound also holds in the case of the full class, which we show by constructing a polynomial-time algorithm.
