Estimation of $g_i({\bf X})$

We assume that $p({\bf X}\vert\Omega_i)$ is multivariate Gaussian
\begin{displaymath}p({\bf X}\vert\Omega_i) = \frac {1}
{(2\pi)^{3/2}\vert\Sigma...
...} - {\bf {\mu}}_i)^t \Sigma_i^{-1} ({\bf X} - {\bf {\mu}}_i)]}
\end{displaymath} (28)

where ${\bf {\mu}}_i = (\mu_{i_1},\mu_{i_2},\mu_{i_3})^t$ is the 3-component mean vector and $\Sigma_i$ is the $3 \times 3$ covariance matrix. Therefore, $g_i({\bf X})$ is given as
\begin{displaymath}\begin {array}{cc}
{g_i({\bf X}) \: = \: - \frac {1} {2} \lo...
...:}\\
\log [P(\Omega_i)] \: - \: \log[p({\bf X})]
\end {array}\end{displaymath} (29)
