I present my paper in review, https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.13082, in which I have used a Multivariate Gaussian model to fit gravitational wave event likelihoods, using a fiducial prior along with posterior samples available in the gravitational wave catalogs, GWTC-1 and GWTC-2. I also present higher dimensional fits which will be available in a following paper. I discuss applications of these results to gravitational wave populations work.
