Hi All,

I have three 1D normal distributions (A,B, and C) with ux, varx and nx being the mean, variance and number of samples of each distribution.

I would like to know what it is meant by saying "fitting a 3D Gaussian to these distributions".

Does it mean, defining the normal distribution which is characterized by,

mean vector = [uA uB uC]T and

covariance matrix =

[  varA                  covar(A,B)       covar(A,C)

   covar(B,A)        varB                 covar(B,C) 

   covar(C,A)        covar(C,B)       varC   ]?

Thank you in advance for your inputs.
