The function 'gaussian_2d()' generates and visualizes a 2D Gaussian distribution by defining its parameters, creating a grid of coordinates, and calculating the probability density function (PDF). It assumes a correlation coefficient of zero for simplicity, resulting in an axis-aligned Gaussian distribution. The output is a contour plot displaying the distribution with specified contour levels and labels.

function gaussian_2d() % gaussian_2d() generates and plots a 2D Gaussian distribution.

% % What it does: This function


defines the parameters (mean and standard % deviation) for a 2D Gaussian distribution. It then creates a grid of x and
% y coordinates and calculates the probability density function (PDF) of the % Gaussian at each point on the grid.
Finally, it visualizes the distribution % using a contour plot. % % Theory: The probability density function (PDF) of a 2D
Gaussian (or % bivariate normal) distribution is given by: % % f(x, y) = (1 / (2pisigma_xsigma_ysqrt(1-rho^2))) * %
exp(-1 / (2*(1-rho^2)) * % [((x-mu_x)/sigma_x)^2 - 2rho((x-mu_x)/sigma_x)((y-mu_y)/sigma_y) + ((y-mu_y)/sigma_y)^2])
% % where: % mu_x and mu_y are the means in the x and y directions, respectively. % sigma_x and sigma_y are the
standard deviations in the x and y directions, respectively. % rho is the correlation coefficient between x and y (here,
we assume rho=0 for simplicity, % making the distribution axis-aligned). % % For an axis-aligned Gaussian (rho = 0),
the formula simplifies to: % % f(x, y) = (1 / (2pisigma_xsigma_y)) * exp(-((x-mu_x)^2 / (2sigma_x^2) + (y-mu_y)^2 /
(2sigma_y^2)))

% Define the parameters of the 2D Gaussian distribution


mu_x = 0; % Mean in the x-direction
mu_y = 0; % Mean in the y-direction
sigma_x = 2; % Standard deviation in the x-direction
sigma_y = 1; % Standard deviation in the y-direction

% Create a grid of x and y values


x = linspace(-5, 5, 100);
y = linspace(-5, 5, 100);
[X, Y] = meshgrid(x, y);

% Calculate the 2D Gaussian PDF


Z = (1 / (2*pi*sigma_x*sigma_y)) * exp(-((X - mu_x).^2 / (2*sigma_x^2) + (Y - mu_y).^2 / (2*sigma_y^2)));

% Plot the 2D Gaussian distribution using a contour plot


contour(X, Y, Z, 20); % 20 contour levels

ylabel('y');
