Computational trick that we must note
Iterated closed form of covariance matrix It is noted that we solve the iterative closed form of covariance matrix, we require to devide the interactive term into two terms. For example, we have an objective function \[l(\Sigma)=-\frac{1}{2} \ln |\Sigma| - \frac{1}{2} tr\{\Sigma^{-1} (\sigma^2 I_p + zz^T)\} + \mu^T \Sigma^{-1}z - \frac{1}{2} \mu^T \Sigma{-1} \mu.\] We are used to writing \(\frac{1}{2}\mu^T\Sigma^{-1} z+ \frac{1}{2}z^T\Sigma^{-1} \mu\) as \(\mu^T \Sigma^{-1}z\) since the transpose of \(1\times 1\) matrix is itself.
