Multivariate distributions are the natural extension of univariate distributions, but are inevitably significantly more complex see kotz and johnson 1972, and kotz, balakrishnan and johnson 2000 for a complete treatment of such distributions. To show that this factor is correct, we make use of the diagonalization of 1.
Generation of multivariate random variables with known. In probability theory and statistics, the multivariate normal distribution, multivariate gaussian distribution, or joint normal distribution is a generalization of the onedimensional normal distribution to higher dimensions.

A multivariate normal distribution is a vector in multiple normally distributed variables, such that any linear combination of the variables is also normally distributed. For a general bivariate case we write this as px 1 x 1, x 2 x 2. A huge body of statistical theory depends on the properties of families of random variables whose joint distributions are at least approximately multivariate normal.
