An integral over the interval $(0,\pi)$ is given for the cumulative distribution function of a sum of independent gamma random variables with different scale and shape parameters. The cumulative distribution function of a positive definite…
The beta distribution is a basic distribution serving several purposes. It is used to model data, and also, as a more flexible version of the uniform distribution, it serves as a prior distribution for a binomial probability. The bivariate…
The gamma difference distribution is defined as the difference of two gamma distributions, with in general different shape and rate parameters. Starting with knowledge of the corresponding characteristic function, a second order linear…
Consider the sample covariance matrix $$\Sigma^{1/2}XX^T\Sigma^{1/2}$$ where $X$ is an $M\times N$ random matrix with independent entries and $\Sigma$ is an $M\times M$ diagonal matrix. It is known that if $\Sigma$ is deterministic, then…
Matrix multivariate Pearson type II-Riesz distribution is defined and some of its properties are studied. In particular, the associated matrix multivariate beta distribution type I is derived. Also the singular values and eigenvalues…
We compute analytically, for large N, the probability distribution of the number of positive eigenvalues (the index N_{+}) of a random NxN matrix belonging to Gaussian orthogonal (\beta=1), unitary (\beta=2) or symplectic (\beta=4)…
Let $p$ be a real number greater than one and let $\Gamma$ be a graph of bounded degree. We investigate links between the $p$-harmonic boundary of $\Gamma$ and the $D_p$-massive subsets of $\Gamma$. In particular, if there are $n$ pairwise…
This paper proposes a generalisation of the Pearson type II distribution, which shall termed Pearson Type II-Riesz distribution, based in the Kotz-Riesz distribution. Specifically, the central nonsingular matricvariate generalised Pearson…
Motivated by the need, in some Bayesian likelihood free inference problems, of imputing a multivariate counting distribution based on its vector of means and variance-covariance matrix, we define a generic multivariate discrete…
We consider the problem of estimating the mean vector of a p-variate normal $(\theta,\Sigma)$ distribution under invariant quadratic loss, $(\delta-\theta)'\Sigma^{-1}(\delta-\theta)$, when the covariance is unknown. We propose a new class…

Exact formulas are derived for the probability density functions of the sum and difference of two independent non-central gamma distributed random variables, with both series and integral representations of the density presented. These…
We introduce the notion of symmetric covariation, which is a new measure of dependence between two components of a symmetric $\alpha$-stable random vector, where the stability parameter $\alpha$ measures the heavy-tailedness of its…
Hypothesis testing results often rely on simple, yet important assumptions about the behaviour of the distribution of p-values under the null and the alternative. We examine tests for one dimensional parameters of interest that converge to…
Conditions are established under which the $p$-adic valuations of the invariant factors (diagonal entries of the Smith form) of an integer matrix are equal to the $p$-adic valuations of the eigenvalues. It is then shown that this…
In this article we consider an open string attached to a D$_p$-brane, in the presence of the pp-wave and background gauge fields. The effects of the string mass on the open string propagator, open string metric and the noncommutativity…
We investigate the variation in the total number of points in a random $p\times p$ square in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ where the $p$-adic valuation of a given polynomial in two variables is precisely $1$. We establish that this quantity follows a…

A classical approach to accurately estimating the covariance matrix \Sigma of a p-variate normal distribution is to draw a sample of size n > p and form a sample covariance matrix. However, many modern applications operate with much smaller…
