Gaussian integrals over a half-space

Edit: I shall try to reformulate my question in order to make it -hopefully- more clear. Let $X$ be a random variable that follows the $n$-dimensional Gaussian distribution. The probability density ...

Probability that multi-dimensional random variable is positive?

If we have some multi-dimensional normal probability distribution, $X \sim \mathcal{N}(0,\Sigma)$, with zero mean and a known covariance matrix then what is the probability that every component of $X$...

Entropy of fair but correlated coin flips

Consider the joint distribution, $p(\xi_1,...\xi_N)$, with components defined as $\xi_i=\mathrm{sign}(x_i)$, with $(x_1,...,x_N)\sim\mathcal{N}(0,\Sigma)$ with $ \Sigma_{ij}=\delta_{ij}+(1-\delta_{ij})...

Generalized Owen's T function

As Wikipedia teaches us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen%27s_T_function the Owen's T function $T(h,a)$ defines a probability of a bivariate event $X>h$ and $0<Y<a X$ where $X,Y$ are ...

Derivation of a closed-form solution for the integral of a 3D Gaussian over the *positive* reals

in a post from over four years ago, Przemo gave the following formula for the integral over a Gaussian function over the positive reals in three dimensions (denoted here as $\mathbb{R}^3_+$) with ...

Expectation of sign of multivariate gaussian random variables

I wanted find the following expression in closed-form $\mathbb{E} [sgn(X_1) sgn(X_2) sgn(X_3) sgn(X_4)]$ where each $X_i$ is a gaussian random variable correlated with others. In this regard, we have ...
