A univariate specialization of the inverse-Wishart distribution is the inverse-gamma distribution. With (i.e. univariate) and, and the probability density function of the inverse-Wishart distribution becomes

i.e., the inverse-gamma distribution, where is the ordinary Gamma function.

A generalization is the inverse multivariate gamma distribution.

A different type of generalization is the normal-inverse-Wishart distribution, essentially the product of a multivariate normal distribution with an inverse Wishart distribution.
