Does this page need to exist given Bayesian linear regression? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Red.devil.ade (talk • contribs) 13:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is it every thing right with the math here? Usually there should be a determinant of the covariance matrix, but instead there is (Sigma) which is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I'm right, but at least it would be nice explain why there is no determinant. More generally, has anybody verified the math in the article, as it seems to my not very professional eye, wrong. But I might be very likely wrong.

I think there is some confusion here. This page is discussing Bayesian multivariate linear regression, but there is no page on multivariate linear regression from a non-Bayesian perspective. I think people are getting confused between multiple regression and multivariate regression. The former has a scalar as the response whereas the latter has a vector as a response. There is a link to 'multivariate linear regression' but it (wrongly) takes you to 'The General Linear Model' which would be appropriate for multiple regression.
