More on Multivariate Gaussians - Stanford University
cs229.stanford.edu– The marginal of a joint Gaussian distribution is Gaussian. – The conditional of a joint Gaussian distribution is Gaussian. At first glance, some of these facts, in particular facts #1 and #2, may seem either intuitively obvious or at least plausible. What is probably not so clear, however, is why these facts are so powerful.

Examining these equations, we can see that the multivariate density coincides with the univariate density in the special case when 2is the scalar ˙. Again, the vector speci˙es the mean of the multivariate Gaussian distribution. The matrix
The Normal or Gaussian Distribution - Hamilton Institute
www.hamilton.ieThe Normal Distribution The normal distribution is one of the most commonly used probability distribution for applications. 1 When we repeat an experiment numerous times and average our results, the random variable representing the average or
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

web.mit.edutial family of distribution. Recall that Gaussian distribution is a member of the exponential family of distribution and that random variables, X i’s and Y j’s, are mutually independent. Thus, their joint pdf belongs to the exponential family as well.

people.eecs.berkeley.eduAs in the univariate case, the parameters µ and Σ have a probabilistic interpretation as the moments of the Gaussian distribution. In particular, we have the important result: µ = E(x) (13.2) T. (13.3) We will not bother to derive this standard result, but will provide a hint: diagonalize and appeal to the univariate case.
