✦ Synopsis

excellent comprehensive monograph on multivariate t distributions, with numerous references. this is the only book focusing exclusively on this topic that i'm aware of.

similar in quality and depth to the "discrete/continuous univariate/multivariate distributions" series by Samuel Kotz, N. Balakrishnan, and Norman L. Johnson.
