22.2.1 Probability density function

If $K \in \mathbb{N}$, $\mu \in \mathbb{R}^K$, and $\Omega \in \mathbb{R}^{K \times K}$ is symmetric and positive definite, then for $y \in \mathbb{R}^K$, $$\text{MultiNormalPrecision}(y|\mu,\Omega) = \text{MultiNormal}(y|\mu,\Omega^{-1})$$

22.2.2 Sampling statement

y ~ multi_normal_prec(mu, Omega)
