We will begin with the simplest such situation, that of pairs of random variables or bivariate distributions, where we will already encounter most of the key ideas. 3.1 Discrete Bivariate ...

Gaussian processes - Stanford University
cs229.stanford.eduAs described in Section 1, multivariate Gaussian distributions are useful for modeling finite collections of real-valued variables because of their nice analytical properties. Gaussian processes are the extension of multivariate Gaussians to infinite-sized collections of real-valued variables.

Distributions with densities that are very non-smooth and have tremendous integrated curvature (i.e., lots of wiggles) may require large numbers of normal components. The success of normal mixture models is also tied to the methods of inference. Given that many multivariate density ap-
The Multivariate Gaussian Distribution
cs229.stanford.eduThe concept of the covariance matrix is vital to understanding multivariate Gaussian distributions. Recall that for a pair of random variables X and Y, their covariance is defined as Cov[X,Y] = E[(X −E[X])(Y −E[Y])] = E[XY]−E[X]E[Y]. When working with multiple variables, the covariance matrix provides a succinct way to

If X and Y are independent normals, then Y is also a normal (with E( Y) = EY and Var( Y) = ( 1)2 VarY = VarY), and so X Y is also normal.
