Re: multivariate gaussian distribution (Code)


Sure,

The Cholesky decomposition will fail for matrices which are not positive
definite (imdefinite). LU decomposition is applicable to all matrices.
So the general requirement (symmetric, positive definite) is not ensured
when using LU decomposition.
