Bivariate normal distribution – explicit reconstruction of a BVD random vector via Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix

In other posts of this blog I have discussed the general form of a Bivariate Normal Distribution [BVD] . For a centered Cartesian coordinate system [CCS] (see below), we have already seen the following: In this post I will give you a recipe to explicitly construct two random variables X, Y of a BVD from 1-dimensional Gaussians Z1, Z2 with… Read More »Bivariate normal distribution – explicit reconstruction of a BVD random vector via Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix
