## 25.2 Multivariate normal distribution, precision parameterization

### 25.2.1 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 $$y \in \mathbb{R}^K$$, $\text{MultiNormalPrecision}(y|\mu,\Omega) = \text{MultiNormal}(y|\mu,\Omega^{-1})$

### 25.2.2 Sampling statement
