The Wishart probability distribution on symmetricmatrices has been initially defined by mean of the multivariateGaussian distribution as an of the chi-square distribution. A moregeneral definition is given using results for harmonic…
We study Riesz distributions in the framework of rational Dunkl theory associated with root systems of type A. As an important tool, we employ a Laplace transform involving the associated Dunkl kernel, which essentially goes back to…
We introduce a natural definition of Riesz measures and Wishart laws associated to an $\Omega$-positive (virtual) quadratic map, where $\Omega \subset \real^n$ is a regular open convex cone. We give a general formula for moments of the…
In the paper we present a characterization theorem of the Riesz measure and a Wishart exponential family on homogeneous cones through the invariance property of a natural exponential family under the action of the triangular group.
We present a systematic study of Riesz measures and their natural exponential families of Wishart laws on a homogeneous cone. We compute explicitly the inverse of the mean map and the variance function of a Wishart exponential family.
In this paper we consider some hypothesis tests within a family of Wishart distributions, where both the sample space and the parameter space are symmetric cones. For such testing problems, we first derive the joint density of the ordered…
This article derives several properties of the Riesz distributions, such as their corresponding Bartlett decompositions, the inverse Riesz distributions and the distribution of the generalised variance for real normed division algebras. In…
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 Riesz distribution for real normed division algebras is derived in this work. Then two versions of these distributions are proposed and some of their properties are studied.
We generalise the Riesz representation theorems for positive linear functionals on $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm c}(X)$ and $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm 0}(X)$, where $X$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space, to positive linear operators from these spaces…
Let $(M, {g})$ be a compact, $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary. Suppose further that $(M,g)$ is either two dimensional and has no conjugate points or $(M,g)$ has non-positive sectional curvature. The goal of this note is…
Complete monotonicity is a strong positivity property for real-valued functions on convex cones. It is certified by the kernel of the inverse Laplace transform. We study this for negative powers of hyperbolic polynomials. Here the…
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),…
Let $\gamma_{-1}$ be the absolutely continuous measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose density is the reciprocal of a Gaussian function. Let further $\mathscr{A}$ be the natural self-adjoint Laplacian on $L^2(\gamma_{-1})$. In this paper, we prove…
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…
We develop a nonparametric two-sample test for distributions supported on the cone of symmetric positive definite matrices. The procedure relies on the Wishart kernel density estimator (KDE) introduced by Belzile et al. (2025), whose…
In this paper we propose a method to construct probability measures on the space of convex bodies with a given pushforward distribution. Concretely we show that there is a measure on the metric space of centrally symmetric convex bodies,…
In this paper, we present a novel test for determining equality in distribution of matrix distributions. Our approach is based on the integral squared difference of the empirical Laplace transforms with respect to the noncentral Wishart…
We introduce a new type of norm for ordered vector spaces majorized by a proper (convex) cone that generalizes the notions of order unit norm and base norm. Then we give sufficient conditions to ensure its completeness. In the case of…
Recently, the authors have proposed a new approach to the theory of random metrics, making an explicit link between probability measures on the space of metrics on a Kahler manifold and random matrix models. We consider simple examples of…
