The Multivariate Gaussian Distribution
cs229.stanford.eduThe Multivariate Gaussian Distribution Chuong B. Do October 10, 2008 A vector-valued random variable X = X1 ··· Xn T is said to have a multivariate normal (or Gaussian) distribution with mean µ ∈ Rnn ++ 1 if its probability density function2 is given by p(x;µ,Σ) = 1 (2π)n/2|Σ|1/2 exp − 1 2 (x−µ)TΣ−1(x−µ) . of their basic ...

The second part is the study of probability, which begins at the basics of sets and the equally likely model, journeys past discrete/continuous random variables, and continues through to multivariate distributions. The chapter on sampling distributions paves the way to thethirdpart,whichisinferentialstatistics ...
More on Multivariate Gaussians - Stanford University
cs229.stanford.eduMultivariate 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 - Stanford University
cs229.stanford.eduprocesses are the extension of multivariate Gaussians to infinite-sized collections of real-valued variables. In particular, this extension will allow us to think of Gaussian processes as distributions not justover random vectors but infact distributions over random functions.7 3.1 Probability distributions over functions with finite domains
