In probability theory and statistics, the multivariate normal distribution, multivariate Gaussian distribution, or joint normal distribution is a generalization of the one-dimensional normal distribution to higher dimensions.
Gaussian functions are used to define some types of artificial neural networks. In fluorescence microscopy a 2D Gaussian function is used to approximate the Airy disk, describing the intensity distribution produced by a point source.
All these extensions are also called normal or Gaussian laws, so a certain ambiguity in names exists. The multivariate normal distribution describes the Gaussian law in the k-dimensional Euclidean space. A vector X ∈ R k is multivariate-normally distributed if any linear combination of its components Σ k j=1 a j X j has a (univariate) normal ...
The chi-squared distribution, which is the sum of the squares of n independent Gaussian random variables. It is a special case of the Gamma distribution, and it is used in goodness-of-fit tests in statistics. The inverse-chi-squared distribution; The noncentral chi-squared distribution; The scaled inverse chi-squared distribution; The Dagum ...
Visualisation of the Box–Muller transform — the coloured points in the unit square (u 1, u 2), drawn as circles, are mapped to a 2D Gaussian (z 0, z 1), drawn as crosses. The plots at the margins are the probability distribution functions of z0 and z1. z0 and z1 are unbounded; they appear to be in [−2.5, 2.5] due to the choice of the ...
The generalized normal distribution (GND) or generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) is either of two families of parametric continuous probability distributions on the real line. Both families add a shape parameter to the normal distribution. To distinguish the two families, they are referred to below as "symmetric" and "asymmetric"; however ...
It is possible to have variables X and Y which are individually normally distributed, but have a more complicated joint distribution. In that instance, X + Y may of course have a complicated, non-normal distribution. In some cases, this situation can be treated using copulas.
One application of multidimensional convolution that is used within signal and image processing is Gaussian convolution. This refers to convolving an input signal with the Gaussian distribution function. 2D Gaussian Visualization where = = and = =
