Dear all, How would you draw samples from a multivariate gaussian distribution? E.g. a gaussian with mean 'mu=:0 4' and covariance 'sg=:2 2 $ 3 0 0 0.5' Best wishes, Pierre-Edouard -- -- For information about J forums see http:/

Your example has 0 valued off-diagonal elements in sq, so there is no covariance and 2 independent gaussians can be used. But it your sg had non-zero off-diagonals then according to a very old reference, if you can find lower triangular matrix c such that sg -: c+/ . *|:c then you can generate X=
