Conditioned Gaussian Probability Density

Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 110, Issue 1

Abstract

A workable expression is developed in the case of bivariate Gaussian variables for the probability density function of one variable conditioned on a range of values for the other variable. Such an expression is useful in evaluating sturctural reliability with correlated modes of collapse. A lengthy expression for trivariate Gaussian variables is also presented.
