I have a problem involving the 2-norm of a Gaussian vector.
say,where
is the mean vector and
the covariance matrix.
i can transform this to another Gaussian vector say.
nowhas an identity matrix as covariance matrix, and the distribution of the 2-norm
has a generalized rayleigh distribution. but the problem i am having is say suppose the original problem is finding the probability of the 2-norm of
for some constant
and probability
isthe same in both probability statements or has to be transformed?
ifhas to be transformed then how do i transform the
in the first probability statement for
into another constant
for the probability statement of
?
i know the closed form pdf ofand the cdf as well, but i need to transform
by
if i have to.
any help is deeply appreciated.
please cite a reference(s) where i can find help on this problem.
thank you.
