Bivariate Normal Distribution – integrated probability up to a given Mahalanobis distance, the Chi-squared distribution and confidence ellipses
In previous posts of this blog we have discussed the general form of the probability density function [pdf] of a Bivariate Normal Distribution [BVD]. In this post we consider the integral over a BVD’s pdf up to a defined value of the Mahalanobis Distance. A given value of the latter defines an elliptic contour line of constant probability density. With… Read More »Bivariate Normal Distribution – integrated probability up to a given Mahalanobis distance, the Chi-squared distribution and confidence ellipses
