AbstractLet R be a p×p-correlation matrix with an “m-factorial” inverse R−1 = D − BB′ with diagonal D minimizing the rank m of B. A new $$\left(m+1 \atop 2\right)$$-variate integral representation is given for p-variate gamma distributions belonging to R, which is based on the above decomposition of R−1 without the restriction D > 0 required in former formulas. This extends the applicability of formulas with small m. For example, every p-variate gamma cdf can be computed by an at most \left(p…
Non-Central Multivariate Chi-Square and Gamma Distributions
A (p-1)-variate integral representation is given for the cumulative distribution function of the general p-variate non-central gamma distribution with a non-centrality matrix of any admissible rank.
A Note on the Existence of the Multivariate Gamma Distribution
The p-variate gamma distribution in the sense of Krishnamoorthy and Parthasarathy exists for all positive integer degrees of freedom d and at least for all real values d > p-2, p > 1. For special
Integral representations for convolutions of non-central multivariate gamma distributions
Three types of integral representations for the cumulative distribution functions of convolutions of non-central p-variate gamma distributions are given by integration of elementary complex functions
