Generalized heterogeneous hypergeometric functions and the distribution of the largest eigenvalue of an elliptical Wishart matrix (2104.12552v1)

Abstract: In this study, we derive the exact distributions of eigenvalues of a singular Wishart matrix under an elliptical model. We define generalized heterogeneous hypergeometric functions with two matrix arguments and provide convergence conditions for these functions. The joint density of eigenvalues and the distribution function of the largest eigenvalue for a singular elliptical Wishart matrix are represented by these functions. Numerical computations for the distribution of the largest eigenvalue were conducted under the matrix-variate $t$ and Kotz-type models.
