The distribution of the product of correlated non-central normal samples was derived by Cui et al. [11] and takes the form of an infinite series of modified Bessel functions of the first kind. Moments of product of correlated central normal samples. For a central normal distribution N(0,1) the moments are
In probability theory, a normalizing constant is a constant by which an everywhere non-negative function must be multiplied so the area under its graph is 1, e.g., to make it a probability density function or a probability mass function.
The simplest case of a normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution or unit normal distribution. This is a special case when μ = 0 {\textstyle \mu =0} and σ 2 = 1 {\textstyle \sigma ^{2}=1} , and it is described by this probability density function (or density): φ ( z ) = e − z 2 2 2 π . {\displaystyle \varphi (z ...
However, the changes occurring on the probability distribution of a random variable obtained after performing algebraic operations are not straightforward. Therefore, the behavior of the different operators of the probability distribution, such as expected values, variances, covariances, and moments , may be different from that observed for the ...
The product of independent random variables X and Y may belong to the same family of distribution as X and Y: Bernoulli distribution and log-normal distribution. Example: If X 1 and X 2 are independent log-normal random variables with parameters (μ 1, σ 2 1) and (μ 2, σ 2 2) respectively, then X 1 X 2 is a log-normal random variable with ...
The probability density function for the random matrix X (n × p) that follows the matrix normal distribution , (,,) has the form: (,,) = ([() ()]) / | | / | | /where denotes trace and M is n × p, U is n × n and V is p × p, and the density is understood as the probability density function with respect to the standard Lebesgue measure in , i.e.: the measure corresponding to integration ...
Other non-dimensional normalizations that can be used with no assumptions on the distribution include: Assignment of percentiles. This is common on standardized tests. See also quantile normalization. Normalization by adding and/or multiplying by constants so values fall between 0 and 1.
If Y = c + BX is an affine transformation of (,), where c is an vector of constants and B is a constant matrix, then Y has a multivariate normal distribution with expected value c + Bμ and variance BΣB T i.e., (+,).
