SI&DA - Multivariate Distributions

Multivariate Distributions

SIandDADefinition

To know everything about a multivariate distribution model we also need every possible combination of its joint CDFs : In the particular case of 2 distributions as seen above, to have a complete model we still need the joint CDF .

SI&DA - Definition of 'Confidence Interval'

Definition of ‘Confidence Interval’

SIandDADefinition

Given a RV: with mean and variance we define the ** - confidence interval\alpha_k$) as:

As we can see for the Gaussian Distribution we can say that the 3-confidence interval is over 99% This means that we are 99.7% sure that an observation of this Random Process will fall into the 3 interval range centred in the mean of the process ()
