Let , let , and proposeThe proposal distribution is . If independently of , then is a jointly multivariate normal distribution invariant under exchanging and , because both random vectors have covariance matrix and their cross-covariance matrices are both . Consequently its density satisfieswhere is the standard-normal density. Thus the proposal is reversible with respect to the standard normal distribution.
