Multivariate Distributions - CMU Statistics
23:15 Wednesday 27thFebruary, 2013Chapter 14Multivariate Review of DefinitionsLet s review some definitions from basic probability . When we have a random vector~Xwithpdifferent components,X1,X2,...Xp, thejoint cumulative distributionfunctionisF(~a)=F(a1,a2,...a p)=Pr X1 a1,X2 a2,...Xp ap ( )ThusF(~b) F(~a)=Pr a1<X1 b1,a2<X2 b2,...ap<Xp bp ( )This is the probability thatXis in a (hyper-)rectangle, rather than just in an probability density @ap ~a=~x( )Of course,F(~a)=Za1 1Za2 1p(x1,x2,...xp) ( )(In this case, the order of integration doesn t matter. Why?)From these, and especially from the joint PDF, we can recover the marginal PDFof any group of variables, say those numbered 1 throughq,p(x1,x2.)
the probability density of the multivariate Gaussian is p ... 14.3 Inference with Multivariate Distributions ... parametric inference is covered in Chapter 15. 14.3.1 Estimation The oldest method of estimating parametric distributions is moment-matching or the method of moments. If there are q unknown parameters of the distribution,
