Details
Instead of using mean and covariance, the canonical parameterization uses
information and precision to represent the distribution.
The canonical form makes some calculations easier to perform.
For this reason, it is used in Information Filter algorithm.
The canonical form of a Gaussian is simple to convert to the moment form of the Gaussian.
Information does not directly represent a x like the mean does in the moment form.
For this reason, the canonical form uses an abstract Vector as its data type.
Constructor Details
public GaussianCanonical(Vector xi, Matrix omega)
Creates a Gaussian with the specified information and precision.
Parameters:
xi - The information Vector.
omega - The precision Matrix.
Method Details
public static GaussianCanonical Create(GaussianMoment<X> x)
Creates a canonical Gaussian from a moment Gaussian.
Parameters:
x - The moment based Gaussian distribution to convert.
Returns:
A new canonical based Gaussian that represents the same distribution as the parameter.
public X Mu()
Returns mean of the Gaussian.
Returns:
The mean of the moment form of this Gaussian.
