Abstract

The paper present an explicit expression for the density of a n-dimensional random vector with a singular Elliptical distribution. Based on this, the densities of the generalized Chi-squared and generalized t distributions are derived, examining the Pearson Type VII distribution and Kotz Type distribution (as specific Elliptical distributions). Finally, the results are applied to the study of the distribution of the residuals of an Elliptical linear model and the distribution of the t-statistic, based on a sample from an Elliptical population.
