More on Multivariate Gaussians - Stanford University

A vector-valued random variable x ∈ Rn is said to have a multivariate normal (or Gaus-sian) distribution with mean µ ∈ Rnn ++ 1 if its probability density function is given by p(x;µ,Σ) = 1 (2π)n/2|Σ|1/2 exp − 1 2 (x−µ)TΣ−1(x−µ) . 2 Gaussian facts Multivariate Gaussians turn out to be extremely handy in practice due to the ...

Conjugate Bayesian analysis of the Gaussian distribution

The 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
