In this paper, we introduce a matrix variate slash distribution as a scale mixture of the matrix variate normal and the uniform distributions. We study some properties of the proposed distribution and give maximum likelihood (ML) estimators of its parameters using EM algorithm. We provide an...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of multivariate distributions as an extension of the normal variance–mean mixture distributions class. The new class results from a variance-mean mixture of the skew normal and the generalized inverse Gaussian distributions. The new class is very...
