Marginal & Conditional for the Multivariate Normal | Full Derivation

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

If we subdivide the random vector of a Multivariate Normal/Gaussian, what are the marginal of the subvectors? And how is the conditional between the two? Here are the notes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ceyron/machine-learning-and-simulation/main/english/essential_pmf_pdf/multivariate_normal_marginal_and_conditional.pdf The Multivariate Normal allows for many analytical computations that are infeasible with other (joint) distributions. ------- 📝 : Check out the GitHub Repository of the channel, where I upload all the handwritten notes and source-code files (contributions are very welcome): https://github.com/Ceyron/machine-learning-and-simulation 📢 : Follow me on LinkedIn or Twitter for updates on the channel and other cool Machine Learning & Simulation stuff: https://www.linkedin.com/in/felix-koehler and https://twitter.com/felix_m_koehler 💸 : If you want to support my work on the channel, you can become a Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/MLsim ------- Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:25 What partitioning means for the parameters 02:39 Marginal 04:06 Marginal: Visualization for Bivariate Normal 08:26 Conditional: Bayes' Theorem 09:43 Conditional: Idea for Derivation 10:02 Conditional: Recap Multivariate Normal 10:47 Conditional: Precision Matrix 11:45 Conditional: Inserting Subdivision 19:46 Conditional: Ignoring terms 22:32 Conditional: Completing the Square 27:43 Conditional: Discussion on mu 28:08 Conditional: Preliminary Solution 20:33 Conditional: Schur Complement 37:28 Summary 40:19 Outro
