(PP 6.2) Multivariate Gaussian - examples and independence

Degenerate multivariate Gaussians. Some sketches of examples and non-examples of Gaussians. The components of a Gaussian are independent if and only if they are uncorrelated.

Teach Astronomy - Atoms and Probability

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The quantum theory of matter imbeds the idea of probability in a fundamental way. There is no certainty when it comes to talking about atoms and fundamental particles. This is embodied most clearly in Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle where, when we know t

A Friendly Introduction to Rigorous Probability Theory || Chapter 1, Probability Spaces

Here, I talk about why a rigorous (measure theoretic) framework for probability theory is needed, and also give an intuitive idea of various abstract ideas in rigorous probability such as sigma-algebras and the axioms of probability. This is my contribution to Grant Sanderson's (3blue1brow

Lee Smolin Public Lecture Special: Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution

On April 17, in a special webcast talk based on his latest book, Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution, Perimeter’s Lee Smolin argued that the problems that have bedeviled quantum physics since its inception are unsolved and unsolvable for the simple reason that the theory is incomplete. There

Joscha Prochno: The large deviations approach to high-dimensional convex bodies, Lecture I

Given any isotropic convex body in high dimension, it is known that its typical random projections will be approximately standard Gaussian. The universality in this central limit perspective restricts the information that can be retrieved from the lower-dimensional projections. In contrast
