Multivariate normal density in Python?

Question

Is there any python package that allows the efficient computation of the PDF (probability density function) of a multivariate normal distribution?

It doesn\'t seem to be

Answer 1

In the common case of a diagonal covariance matrix, the multivariate PDF can be obtained by simply multiplying the univariate PDF values returned by a scipy.stats.norm instance. If you need the general case, you will probably have to code this yourself (which shouldn't be hard).
