This volume presents the first detailed introduction to the theory of matrix variate elliptically contoured distributions. The book comprises eight chapters and an up-to-date bibliography. Chapter 1 summarises some results of matrix algebra. Chapter 2 deals with the basic properties of matrix variate elliptically contoured distributions, such as the probability density function and expected values. It also presents one of the most important tools of the theory of elliptical distributions, the stochastic representation. The probability density function and expected values are investigated in detail in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 focuses on elliptically contoured distributions that can be represented as mixtures of normal distributions. The distributions of functions of random matrices with elliptically contoured distributions are discussed in Chapter 5, with special attention being paid to quadratic forms. Characterization results are given in Chapter 6. Chapters 7-9 are devoted to statistical inference. For researchers and graduate students in statistics and related fields whose interests involve multivariate statistical analysis.

This text has been written primarily as an introduction to the basics of the actuarial mathematics of life insurance. Since it attempts to derive the results in a mathematically rigorous way, the concepts and techniques of one-variable calculus and probability theory have been used throughout. Topics dealt with include important concepts of financial mathematics; the concept of interests; annuities-certain; mortality theory; different types of life insurances; stochastic cash flows in general and pure endowments, whole life and term insurances, endowments, and life annuities in particular; premium calculations; reserves; mortality profit; and negative reserves. The book contains many systematically solved examples showing the practical applications of the theory presented. Solving the problems at the end of each section is essential for understanding the material. Answers to odd-numbered problems are given at the end of the volume. Audience: This work is recommended as a text for a one-semester course or one-year college course at senior level in actuarial mathematics, life insurance, or the mathematics of finance.

Elliptically Contoured Models in Statistics and Portfolio Theory fully revises the first detailed introduction to the theory of matrix variate elliptically contoured distributions. There are two additional chapters, and all the original chapters of this classic text have been updated. Resources in this book will be valuable for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in statistics and related fields of finance and engineering. Those interested in multivariate statistical analysis and its application to portfolio theory will find this text immediately useful. In multivariate statistical analysis, elliptical distributions have recently provided an alternative to the normal model. Elliptical distributions have also increased their popularity in finance because of the ability to model heavy tails usually observed in real data. Most of the work, however, is spread out in journals throughout the world and is not easily accessible to the investigators. A noteworthy function of this book is the collection of the most important results on the theory of matrix variate elliptically contoured distributions that were previously only available in the journal-based literature. The content is organized in a unified manner that can serve an a valuable introduction to the subject.

This text has been written by a renowned statistician and a practising actuary, primarily as an introduction to the basics of the actuarial mathematics of life insurance. Since it attempts to derive the results in a mathematically rigorous way, the concepts and techniques of one-variable calculus and probability theory have been used throughout. Topics dealt with include important concepts of financial mathematics; the concept of interests; annuities-certain; mortality theory; different types of life insurances; stochastic cash flows in general and pure endowments, whole life and term insurances, endowments, and life annuities in particular; premium calculations; reserves; mortality profit; and negative reserves.

In multivariate statistical analysis, elliptical distributions have recently provided an alternative to the normal model. Most of the work, however, is spread out in journals throughout the world and is not easily accessible to the investigators. Fang, Kotz, and Ng presented a systematic study of multivariate elliptical distributions, however, they did not discuss the matrix variate case. Recently Fang and Zhang have summarized the results of generalized multivariate analysis which include vector as well as the matrix variate distributions. On the other hand, Fang and Anderson collected research papers on matrix variate elliptical distributions, many of them published for the first time in English. They published very rich material on the topic, but the results are given in paper form which does not provide a unified treatment of the theory. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to collect the most important results on the theory of matrix variate elliptically contoured distributions available in the literature and organize them in a unified manner that can serve as an introduction to the subject. The book will be useful for researchers, teachers, and graduate students in statistics and related fields whose interests involve multivariate statistical analysis. Parts of this book were presented by Arjun K Gupta as a one semester course at Bowling Green State University. Some new results have also been included which generalize the results in Fang and Zhang. Knowledge of matrix algebra and statistics at the level of Anderson is assumed. However, Chapter 1 summarizes some results of matrix algebra.
