Riesz and beta-Riesz distributions

Abstract

This article derives several properties of the Riesz distributions, such as their corresponding Bartlett decompositions, the inverse Riesz distributions and the distribution of the generalised variance for real normed division algebras. In addition, introduce a kind of generalised beta distribution termed beta-Riesz distribution for real normed division algebras. Two versions of this distributions are proposed and some properties are studied.
