Noncentral Chi Distribution - Bivariate Non-central Chi Distribution

Bivariate Non-central Chi Distribution

Let, be a set of n independent and identically distributed bivariate normal random vectors with marginal distributions, correlation, and mean vector and covariance matrix

E(X_j)= \mu=(\mu_1, \mu_2)^T, \qquad \Sigma = \begin{bmatrix} \sigma_{11} & \sigma_{12} \\ \sigma_{21} & \sigma_{22} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \sigma_1^2 & \rho \sigma_1 \sigma_2 \\ \rho \sigma_1 \sigma_2 & \sigma_2^2 \end{bmatrix},

with positive definite. Define

U = \left^{1/2}, \qquad V = \left^{1/2}.

Then the joint distribution of U, V is central or noncentral bivariate chi distribution with n degrees of freedom. If either or both or the distribution is a noncentral bivariate chi distribution.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:

    “Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
