Integral with linear function, Normal PDF, Normal CDF
I am trying to calculate the following integral:
$$\int_a^\infty x \Phi(cx+d) \phi\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right) dx,$$
where $\Phi$, $\phi$ denote the CDF and PDF of the standard Normal $N(0,1)$.
I ...

The monotonicity of the bivariate normal with non-isotropic covariance
Let $Y = (Y_1, Y_2) \sim N(0, 11^T + I)$, be a bivariate normal random variable with non-isotropic covariance.
Define $y = (y_1, y_2)$ and let
\begin{align}
F_{\delta}(y) = \Pr[Y_1 > y_1 - \delta, ...

Convolution between normal distribution and the maximum over $m$ Gaussian draws
$\DeclareMathOperator\erf{erf}$
Let's consider the Gaussian distribution $P_X(x)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2}} e^{- \frac{x^2}{2 \sigma^2}}$. Now consider the random variable $W \equiv \max \{ X_1, ...

Probability density of a hyperplane for a Gaussian distribution
I have a vector $\mathbf{x}$ with a multivariate Gaussian distribution
$$P[\textbf{x}\in S]
=\int_{\textbf{x}\in S}
\det(2\pi H^{-1})^{-1/2}\exp(-\frac{1}{2} \textbf{x}^T H\textbf{x}) \, d\textbf{x}$$...

Integral of the product of a gaussian pdf and cdf
I am trying to solve the integral of a gaussian cumulative distribution function and a gaussian probability function. On this site I have seen solutions of similar, less general integrals (e.g. ...

Definite integral of 2d Gaussian
Is there some analytic expression or even an approximation of the definite 2D Gaussian integral of the form: $$E=\int_a^b Dg \int_{cg+d}^\infty Dh$$ where $Dg=\frac{dg}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-g^2/2}$ and a,...

Sign of expectation value
Consider a multivariate Gaussian-type measure $$d\lambda(x):=\nu_{\mu,\Sigma} e^{-\langle (x-\mu), \Sigma^{-1}(x-\mu) \rangle - \vert x \vert^2} $$
with vector $\mu \in \mathbb R^n$ and $\Sigma$ ...

Gaussian integrals and Showing $ \int f({\vec {x}})e^{\left(-{\frac {1}{2}}\sum \limits _{i,j=1}^{n}A_{ij}x_{i}x_{j}\right)}d^{n}x=e^{D}f|_{x=0}$
This is related to my other question on tackling a gaussian integral for $f(w,u)=\frac{1}{w-u}$.
Q1 Suggestions on evaluating gaussian integrals with "nice" functions (not necessarily polynomials)
