Abstract: We introduce a family of probabilistic {it scale-invariant} Leibniz-like pyramids and $(d+1)$-dimensional hyperpyramids ($d=1,2,3,\mathrm{...}$), characterized by a parameter $u>0$, whose value determines the degree of correlation between $N$ $(d+1)$-valued random variables. There are $(d+1{)}^N$ different events, and the limit $uoinfty$ corresponds to independent random variables, in which case each event has a probability $1/(d+1{)}^N$ to occur. The sums of these $N$ $,(d+1)$-valued random variables correspond to a $d-$dimensional probabilistic model, and generalizes a recently proposed one-dimensional ($d=1$) model having $q-$Gaussians (with $q=(u-2)/(u-1)$ for $uin[1,infty)$) as $Noinfty$ limit probability distributions for the sum of the $N$ binary variables [A. Rodr'{i}guez {em et al}, J. Stat. Mech. (2008) P09006; R. Hanel {em et al}, Eur. Phys. J. B {�f 72}, 263 (2009)]. In the $uoinfty$ limit the $d-$dimensional multinomial distribution is recovered for the sums, which approach a $d-$dimensional Gaussian distribution for $Noinfty$. For any $u$, the conditional distributions of the $d-$dimensional model are shown to yield the corresponding joint distribution of the $(d-1)$-dimensional model with the same $u$. For the $d=2$ case, we study the joint probability distribution, and identify two classes of marginal distributions, one of them being asymmetric and scale-invariant, while the other one is symmetric and only asymptotically scale-invariant. The present probabilistic model is proposed as a testing ground for a deeper understanding of the necessary and sufficient conditions for having $q$-Gaussian attractors in the $Noinfty$ limit, the ultimate goal being a neat mathematical view of the causes clarifying the ubiquitous emergence of $q$-statistics verified in many natural, artificial and social systems.
