Descrizione

Summary:

Add a function to compute the bivariate normal cdf.

Description:

For size 2 vectors y and mu and 2 x 2 covariance matrix Sigma, compute

bivar_normal_cdf(y, mu, Sigma)

  = INT_{u < y}  multinormal_pdf(u, mu, Sigma) d.u

where u is also a 2-vector and u < y is defined componentwise as u[1] < y[1] && u[2] < y[2].

There could also be a parameterization where covariance is given in terms of two scale parameters and a correlation parameter.
