Multivariate statistical analysis is concerned with data that consists of sets of measurements on a number of individuals or objects. The sample data may be heights and weights of ... the chi-squared distribution. •A∼Wp(n,Σ) is positive definite with probability one if and only if n≥p. •The sample covariance matrix, S= 1 n−1 A is Wp ...
