MultivariateNormalDistribution Class

Represents a multivariate normal distribution.

Definition

Namespace: Numerics.NET.Statistics.Distributions
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 9.1.5

[SerializableAttribute]
public sealed class MultivariateNormalDistribution : MultivariateContinuousDistribution

Visual Basic

<SerializableAttribute>
Public NotInheritable Class MultivariateNormalDistribution
	Inherits MultivariateContinuousDistribution

C++/CLI

[SerializableAttribute]
public ref class MultivariateNormalDistribution sealed : public MultivariateContinuousDistribution

[<SealedAttribute>]
[<SerializableAttribute>]
type MultivariateNormalDistribution = 
    class
        inherit MultivariateContinuousDistribution
    end

Inheritance: Object → MultivariateContinuousDistribution → MultivariateNormalDistribution

Remarks

The multivariate normal distribution is a generalization of the normal distribution. The mean of the multivariate distribution is a vector. The multivariate equivalent of the variance is the variance-covariance matrix, which must be positive semi-definite.

Constructors

MultivariateNormalDistribution(Int32)	Constructs a new MultivariateNormalDistribution with mean equal to zero and standard deviation equal to 1.
MultivariateNormalDistribution(Matrix<Double>)	Estimates the parameters of the distribution of a set of observations assuming it follows a multivariate normal distribution.
MultivariateNormalDistribution(Vector<Double>)	Constructs a new MultivariateNormalDistribution with specified mean and standard deviation equal to 1.
MultivariateNormalDistribution(Vector<Double>[])	Estimates the parameters of the distribution of a variable assuming it follows a normal distribution.
MultivariateNormalDistribution(Vector<Double>, Matrix<Double>)	Constructs a new MultivariateNormalDistribution with specified mean and standard deviation.

Properties

Order

Gets the number of dimensions of the distribution.
