Multivariate Normal Density
Because of the mathematical tractability as well as because of the central limit theorem, Multivariate Normal Density, as known as Gaussian Density, received more attention than other various density functions that have been investigated in pattern recognition.
The general multivariate normal density in d dimensions is:
$ p(\mathbf{x})=\frac{1}{(2\pi)^{d/2}| \mathbf{\Sigma} |^{1/2} }exp\begin{bmatrix} -\frac{1}{2} (\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{\mu})^t \mathbf{\Sigma} ^{-1}(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{\mu}) \end{bmatrix} $
