How to get the parameters of a bivariate normal density ellipse?

Sep 28, 2016 06:17 PM (5287 views)

I would like to be able to extract the parameters of an ellipse drawn in a bivariate plot. By parameters I mean, the long and short axes and direction of the long axis, not just means and std devs. Is there a way?
