Multivariate Gaussian distributions #
In this file we define the standard Gaussian distribution over a Euclidean space and multivariate
Gaussian distributions over EuclideanSpace ℝ ι.
Main definitions #
stdGaussian E: Standard Gaussian distribution on a finite-dimensional real inner product spaceE. This is the random vector whose coordinates in an orthonormal basis are independent standard Gaussian.multivariateGaussian μ S: The multivariate Gaussian distribution onEuclideanSpace ℝ ιwith meanμand covariance matrixS, whenSis a positive semidefinite matrix.
TODO #
- Generalize
multivariateGaussian μ SwhenSis a symmetric trace class operator over a Hilbert space.

Standard Gaussian measure over a Euclidean space #
Standard Gaussian distribution on a finite-dimensional real inner product space E.
This is the random vector whose coordinates in an orthonormal basis are independent standard
Gaussian.
The definition uses stdOrthonormalBasis ℝ E but does not actually depend on the
basis, see stdGaussian_eq_map_pi_orthonormalBasis.

Instances For
The definition of stdGaussian does not depend on the basis.
Multivariate Gaussian measures over ℝⁿ #
Multivariate Gaussian measure on EuclideanSpace ℝ ι with mean μ and covariance
matrix S. This only makes sense when S is positive semidefinite,
as then CFC.sqrt S * CFC.sqrt S = S. Otherwise CFC.sqrt S = 0, and
multivariateGaussian μ S = Measure.dirac μ (see multivariateGaussian_of_not_posSemidef).

Instances For
If one restricts a multivariate Gaussian measure indexed by a finite set I to
coordinates indexed by J ⊆ I, one obtains the multivariate Gaussian measure whose
covariance matrix is given by the corresponding submatrix.
