Geometric disintegration and star-shaped distributions
Geometric disintegration and star-shaped distributions
Geometric and stochastic representations are derived for the big class of p-generalized elliptically contoured distributions, and (generalizing Cavalieri's and Torricelli's method of indivisibles in a non-Euclidean sense) a geometric disintegration method is established for deriving even more general star-shaped distributions. Applications to constructing non-concentric elliptically contoured and generalized von Mises …
