Abstract:

Let $A \sim {W_p}(n,\Sigma )$ and $A = ZZ’$ where Z is a lower triangular matrix with positive diagonal elements. Further, let $B = {A^{ - 1}} = W’W$ have inverted Wishart distribution so that $W = {Z^{ - 1}}$. In this paper we derive the distribution of $M = W\Sigma W’$. It is also shown that $\frac {{n - p + 1}}{{np}}T’MT \sim {F_{p,n - p + 1}}$ where $T \sim {N_p}(0,{I_p})$ is independent of M.
