Chapter 4: Part b – The Multivariate Normal Distribution • We will be discussing • The Multivariate Normal Distribution • Other Distributions • (These topics are needed for Chapters 5)
The Multivariate Normal Function According to the multivariate density function, the probability that the random vector x = [x1 x2··· xp]′ takes on a particular set of values is given by The analogous distribution function is given by
Bivariate Normal with Three Values of = 0.0 = 0.4 = 0.6
The 2 Distribution The Chi Square Is a Sum of Squared Z scores: Pr(2) It approaches normality as df gets large:
Student’s t Distribution The t is analogous to the normal but with 2 unknown. It approaches normality also as the df gets large.
The F Distribution The F is a ratio of Chi Squares. The t is an F2 with 1 df in the numerator.
