Distribution of the $L^{2}$ norm of a vector of components drawn from Gaussian distributions
I recently asked this question involving uniform distributions. I am wondering what would be the equivalent for Gaussian distributions. The problem states as follows.
We consider a random vector $\...

$L_2$ norm of product of two vectors
Let's assume we have two matrices $A^{d\times 1}$ and $B^{1 \times e}$, and we define their product as $C^{d\times e}$. Assuming $A,B$ are real valued with all entries in $[-1,1]$.
I can intuitively ...

Test for equality of means for vector-valued random process with different variances
I am studying linearity range of an RF amplifier (henceforth DUT). For that I am stimulating the DUT with a periodic deterministic probe signal (which is known only roughly) and measuring the DUT's ...

Does mean centering reduce covariance?
Assuming I have two non-independent random variables and I want to reduce covariance between them as much as possible without loosing too much "signal", does mean centering help? I read somewhere that ...

Distribution of the $L^2$ norm of a vector of components drawn from uniform distributions
We consider a random vector $\vec{v} = \left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \dots, x_{n}\right)$ built from $n$ real random variables drawn from a real continuous uniform distribution $\mathcal{U\left(a, b\right)}$, $...

Covariance of sums of pairs of correlated variables
Take two vectors of normally-distributed random variables
$\mathbf{x} = (x_1, x_2, \ldots x_n)$
$\mathbf{y} = (y_1, y_2, \ldots y_n)$
where the covariance of each pair $(x_i, y_i)$ is known,
$\...

Suppose $\mathbf{X, Y}$ are independent random vectors. Are their components independent? [duplicate]
Let $\mathbf{X} = (X_1, \dots, X_p)^\top$ and $\mathbf{Y} = (Y_1, \dots, Y_p)^\top$ be independent. Does it then follow that $X_i$ is independent with $Y_j$ i.e. cov$(X_i, Y_j) = 0$?

Conditional expectation of a vector
Suppose we have two random vectors $X=(X_1,X_2)^T$ and $Y=(Y_1,\dots,Y_n)^T$. I wish to find a simple definition or formula for
$$
E_{X|Y=y}[X]
$$
Intuitively, I think the following is correct:
$$

Comparison of random vectors
I feel a little stupid asking this, but anyway: say I've got a random vector $a$ of size $p$ with covariance matrix ${\Sigma_a}$ of size $p\times p$, and another vector $b$ with its cov $\Sigma_b$.
