Ratio Distributions in Multivariate Analysis

Ratio distributions also appear in multivariate analysis. If the random matrices X and Y follow a Wishart distribution then the ratio of the determinants

is proportional to the product of independent F random variables. In the case where X and Y are from independent standardized Wishart distributions then the ratio

has a Wilks' lambda distribution.

Famous quotes containing the words ratio and/or analysis:

    A magazine or a newspaper is a shop. Each is an experiment and represents a new focus, a new ratio between commerce and intellect.
    John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
