When considering a graphical Gaussian model ${\mathcal{N}}_G$ Markov with respect to a decomposable graph $G$, the parameter space of interest for the precision parameter is the cone $P_G$ of positive definite matrices with fixed zeros…
This paper deals with the existence issue of non-central Wishart distributions which is a research topic initiated by Wishart (1928), and with important contributions by e.g., L\'evy (1937), Gindikin (1975), Shanbhag (1988), Peddada and…
Classes of multivariate and cone valued infinitely divisible Gamma distributions are introduced. Particular emphasis is put on the cone-valued case, due to the relevance of infinitely divisible distributions on the positive semi-definite…
Necessary conditions for the existence of non-central Wishart distributions are given. Our method relies on positivity properties of spherical polynomials on Euclidean Jordan Algebras and advances an approach by Peddada and Richards (1991),…
A characterization of the existence of non-central Wishart distributions (with shape and non-centrality parameter) as well as the existence of solutions to Wishart stochastic differential equations (with initial data and drift parameter) in…
In this paper we consider two statistical hypotheses for the families of Wishart type distributions. These distributions are analogs of the Wishart distributions defined and parametrized over a Lorentz cone. We test these hypotheses by…
Gaussian covariance graph models encode marginal independence among the components of a multivariate random vector by means of a graph $G$. These models are distinctly different from the traditional concentration graph models (often also…
We are interested in the distribution of Wishart samples after forgetting their scaling factors. We call such a distribution a projective Wishart distribution. We show that projective Wishart distributions have strong links with the…
In recent years, a variety of useful extensions of the Wishart have been proposed in the literature for the purposes of studying Markov random fields/graphical models. In particular, generalizations of the Wishart, referred to as Type I and…
In this paper, we derive the explicit series expansion of the eigenvalue distribution of various models, namely the case of non-central Wishart distributions, as well as correlated zero mean Wishart distributions. The tools used extend…
The Wishart distribution and its generalizations are among the most prominent probability distributions in multivariate statistical analysis, arising naturally in applied research and as a basis for theoretical models. In this paper, we…
We generalize the following univariate characterization of the Kummer and Gamma distributions to the cone of symmetric positive definite matrices: let $X$ and $Y$ be independent, non-degenerate random variables valued in $(0, \infty)$, then…
Vinberg cones and the ambient vector spaces are important in modern statistics of sparse models and of graphical models. The aim of this paper is to study eigenvalue distributions of Gaussian, Wigner and covariance matrices related to…
The literature presents the characteristic function of the Wishart distribution on m times m matrices as an inverse power of the determinant of the Fourier variable, the exponent being the positive, real shape parameter. I demonstrate that…
The Wishart distribution on an homogeneous cone is a generalization of the Riesz distribution on a symmetric cone which corresponds to a given graph. The paper extends to this distribution, the famous Olkin and Rubin characterization of the…
The problem considered in this paper is to find when the non-central Wishart distribution, defined on the cone $\bar{\mathcal{P}_d}$ of semi positive definite matrices of order $d$ and with a real valued shape parameter, exists. We reduce…
A quasi-infinitely divisible distribution on $\mathbb{R}$ is a probability distribution whose characteristic function allows a L\'evy-Khintchine type representation with a "signed L\'evy measure", rather than a L\'evy measure.…
In this article, we obtain an equation for the high-dimensional limit measure of eigenvalues of generalized Wishart processes, and the results is extended to random particle systems that generalize SDEs of eigenvalues. We also introduce a…
A Wishart matrix is said to be spiked when the underlying covariance matrix has a single eigenvalue $b$ different from unity. As $b$ increases through $b=2$, a gap forms from the largest eigenvalue to the rest of the spectrum, and with…
This paper proposes a unified approach that enables the Wishart distribution to be studied simultaneously in the real, complex, quaternion and octonion cases. In particular, the noncentral generalised Wishart distribution, the joint density…
