摘要:
A convenient notation for certain matrix-variate distributions is introduced and justified; by emphasis on important underlying parameters and the theory on which it is based, it eases greatly the task of manipulating such distributions. Important examples include the matrix-variate normal, t, F and beta, and the Wishart and inverse Wishart distributions. The theory is applied to compound matrix distributions and to Bayesian prediction in the multivariate linear model.
