Which orthant probabilities are the largest? (For a multivariate normal distribution)
I have a $k$-dimensional multivariate normal distribution $X∼N(0,\Sigma)$ with covariance matrix $\Sigma$. $\Sigma$ has two distinct eigenvalues, say $\lambda_1 > \lambda_2$, with orthogonal ...

Order of orthant probabilities in a prolate multinormal distribution
This is inspired by the negative answer to the conjecture in Which orthant probabilities are the largest? (For a multivariate normal distribution).
Suppose $X$ has the $k$-dimensional multivariate ...

Projecting a vector onto a random subspace
Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{k\times d}$ be matrix with i.i.d. $\mathcal{N}(0,1/k)$ entries with $k<d$, and let $B=A^{\top}A$. I would like to compute the distribution of $Bx$ where $x\in\mathbb{R}^{d}$ is ...
