On the Multivariate t Distribution, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-3059
نویسنده
چکیده
This technical report summarizes a number of results for the multivariate t distribution which can exhibit heavier tails than the Gaussian distribution. It is shown how t random variables can be generated, the probability density function (pdf) is derived, and marginal and conditional densities of partitioned t random vectors are presented. Moreover, a brief comparison with the multivariate Gaussian distribution is provided. The derivations of several results are given in an extensive appendix.

متن کاملRobust point-mass filters on manifolds, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2935
Robust state estimation for states evolving on compact manifolds is achieved by employing a point-mass filter. The proposed implementation emphasizes a sane treatment of the geometry of the problem, and advocates separation of the filtering algorithms from the implementation of particular manifolds.
