Matrix variate Birnbaum–Saunders distribution under elliptical models
Abstract
This paper derives the elliptical matrix variate version of the well known univariate Birnbaum–Saunders distribution of 1969. A generalisation based on a matrix transformation is proposed, instead of the independent element-to-element elliptical extension of the Gaussian univariate case. Some results on Jacobians were needed to derive the new matrix variate distribution. A number of particular distributions are studied and some basic properties are found. Finally, an example based on real data of two populations is given and the maximum likelihood estimates are obtained for the class of Kotz models. A comparison with the Gaussian kernel is also given by using a modified BIC criterion. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Generalised Shape Theory Via Pseudo-Wishart Distribution
( Springer on behalf of the Indian Statistical InstituteTronco común IngenieríasFacultad de Ciencias Básicas, 2013)The non isotropic noncentral elliptical shape distributions via pseudo-Wishart distribution are founded. This way, the classical shape theory is extended to non isotropic case and the normality assumption is replaced by ... -
