Abstract
: In this paper, the multivariate elliptically contoured distributions which generalize the elliptically contoured distribution to the case of a matrix are defined and a special class of multivariate elliptically contoured distributions is studied in detail. For this class we obtain the distributions of the following statistics: correlation coefficients, multiple correlation coefficients, Hotelling's T2, sample covariance matrix, generalized variance, characteristic roots of the covariance matrix, quadratic forms, etc. Some multivariate statistical applications are discussed.

Note(s): Extremal t processes: Elliptical domain of attraction and a spectral representation

TL;DR: The role of the extremal t process as the maximum attractor for processes with finite-dimensional elliptical distributions is highlighted and all results naturally also hold within the multivariate domain.

Lp-norm spherical distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, the spherical distribution is generalized to the Lp-norm spherical distribution, S(n, p), through the stochastic representation, and the form of its p.d.

Complex elliptically symmetric distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a class of distributions known as complex elliptically symmetric distributions, which includes the complex multivariate normal and complex multi-ivariate t distributions, and various properties of these distributions are studied.

Quadratic forms in spherical random variables: Generalized noncentral x2 distribution

TL;DR: In this article, the density of U = X'X, called a generalized chi-square, is derived for the noncentral case, when μ = E(X) ≠ 0.
