Figure 3.5. Quadrature approximations for bivariate Gaussian distributions with = 10, 2 = 20, cTi = ct2 = 2, and p = 0 (top) and p = 0.5 (bottom) for // = 4 (left) and for N = 9 (right), namely brute-force QMOM (diamonds), tensor-product QMOM (circles) and CQMOM (squares).

In the literature (Chalons et al, 2010), only a bivariate EQMOM with four abscissas represented by weighted Gaussian distributions with a diagonal covariance matrix has been considered. However, it is likely that brute-force QMOM algorithms can be developed for other distribution functions. Using the multi-Gaussian representation as an example, the approximate NDF can be written as... 

The important feature of these two equations is that the new positions and the new velocities both depend upon an integral over the random force, R(t) (the final terms in Equations (7.124) and (7.125). As both of these integrals depend upon R,(f) they are correlated. Specifically, they obey a bivariate Gaussian distribution. Such a distribution provides the probability that a particle located at X at time t with velocity Vj and experiencing a force fj will be at at time t + 6t with velocity In practice, this means that the distribution for the second variable depends upon the value selected for the first variable. It can be difficult to properly sample from such distributions, but van Gunsteren and Berendsen showed that the equations can be reformulated in terms of sampling from two independent Gaussian functions. 

Equation [52] is also a Markovian stochastic process with zero mean and variance Af. The quantity X"(0,-Af) is correlated with X " (0,Af) through a bivariate Gaussian distribution. In the zero limit of the friction coefficient, this set of equations corresponds to the trajectories obtained with the Verlet algorithm. ... 

The bivariant Stockmayer distribution has been used for copolymers. In this case, the product of a Schulz-Flory distribution with respect to molar mass (or segment number) and of a Gaussian distribution with respect to chemical composition y is formed. If the copolymer consists of two kinds of monomers the chemical composition is defined as the segment fraction of one of the monomers within the copolymer. For the segment number and chemical composition the Stockmayer distribution is given by ...
