Multivariate Normal CDF in Python using scipy

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to calculate the Multivariate Normal Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) using Python, specifically utilizing the SciPy library. The Multivariate Normal Distribution is a generalization of the univariate normal distribution to multiple dimensions.
Make sure you have the necessary libraries installed. You can install them using the following command:
The Multivariate Normal Distribution describes a probability distribution for a vector of random variables, where each variable may have a different mean and variance, and there are correlations between them. The Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of a multivariate normal distribution gives the probability that each component of the random vector is less than or equal to a specified value.
We then define the mean vector (mean) and the covariance matrix (covariance) of the multivariate normal distribution. After that, we create an instance of the multivariate_normal class with the specified mean and covariance.
Next, we define the point at which we want to evaluate the CDF using the point variable, and we use the cdf method of the multivariate_normal object to calculate the Multivariate Normal CDF at that point.
Finally, we print the result.
This tutorial covered the basics of calculating the Multivariate Normal Cumulative Distribution Function using Python and the SciPy library. Understanding and using multivariate normal distributions is crucial in various statistical and machine learning applications, especially when dealing with correlated random variables.
