Multivariate normal distribution

The random vector X ≡ (X1, . . . , Xn̄)′ has a normal distribution

Properties of the multivariate normal distribution

For X ≡ (X1, . . . , Xn̄)′, Z ≡ (Z1, . . . , Zk̄)′ jointly normal random vectors(XZ

)∼ N (

(µXµZ

),

(σ2X σX,Z

σ′X,Z σ2Z

)) (22.117)

the conditional variable is normal

X|z ∼ N (µX +σX,Z(σ2Z)−1(z −µZ),σ2

X −σX,Z(σ2Z)−1σ′X,Z) (22.118)

Matrix-normal distribution

The n̄× k̄-dimensional random matrix X has a matrix-normal distribution

X ∼ N (µ,σ2,ψ2) (22.122)

with µ ∈ Rn̄×k̄, σ2 � 0 ∈ Rn̄×n̄, ψ2 � 0 ∈ Rk̄×k̄ if

Xd= µ+ σZψ′ (22.123)

where• (σ,ψ) Riccati roots (38.26) of (σ2,ψ2)

• Zn,k ∼ N (0, 1) i.i.d.

Equivalently

X ∼ N (µ,σ2,ψ2) ⇔ vec(X) ∼ N (vec(µ),ψ2 ⊗ σ2) (22..124)
