On 19 October the Metropolitan Police Service launched a formal criminal investigation, Operation Yewtree, into historic allegations of child s...
MatrixForm is a wrapper that pretty-prints your matrices. When you do the following:
cov = {{0.02, -0.01}, {-0.01, 0.04}} // MatrixForm
you're assigning the prettified matrix to cov (i.e., wrapped inside a MatrixForm). This is not accepted as an input by most functions (perhaps all) that take ...
The original equation comes from here.
The central equation to solve is equation (16), which is of the form:
$\dfrac{\partial f_n(x;\tau)}{\partial \tau}
=\left[
[-(n-6)+\dot{\bar{A}}x]\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x}+2\dot{\bar{A}}-(c_++c_-)n
\right]f_n(x;\tau)
+c_+(n-1)f_{n-1}(x;\tau)+c_-(n+1)f_...
