cs229.stanford.edu2 Gaussian facts Multivariate Gaussians turn out to be extremely handy in practice due to the following facts: • Fact #1: If you know the mean µ and covariance matrix Σ of a Gaussian random variable x, you can write down the probability density function for x directly. 1Recall from the section notes on linear algebra that Sn
Gaussian Processes for Regression: A Quick Introduction
www.apps.stat.vt.eduthe zero vector representing the mean of the multivariate Gaussian distribution in (6) can be replaced with functions of . Third, in addition to their use in regression, GPs are applicableto integration,globaloptimization, mixture-of-expertsmodels,unsuper-vised learning models, and more — see Chapter 9 of Rasmussen and Williams (2006).
Conjugate Bayesian analysis of the Gaussian distribution
www.cs.ubc.caThe Gaussian or normal distribution is one of the most widely used in statistics. Estimating its parameters using Bayesian inference and conjugate priors is also widely used. The use of conjugate priors allows all the results to be derived in closed form. Unfortunately, different books use different conventions on how to parameterize the various

To derive (1.50) we first substitute the expression (1.46) for the no rmal distribution into the normalization result (1.48) and re-arrange to obtain Z∞ −∞ exp ˆ − 1 2σ2 (x−µ)2 ˙ dx= 2πσ2 1/2. (15)
