โฆ Synopsis
The sum of squares and products matrix has a Wishart distribution, when the rows of the corresponding data matrix are i.i.d. according to a skew-normal distribution centered at the origin. Applications include robustness of the t-test, time series and spatial statistics.

We obtain the distribution of the sum of n random vectors and the distribution of their quadratic forms: their densities are expanded in series of Hermite and Laguerre polynomials. We do not suppose that these vectors are independent. In particular, we apply these results to multivariate quadratic f
## Abstract We study the behaviour of moments of order __p__ (1 < __p__ < โ) of affine and quadratic forms with respect to non logโconcave measures and we obtain an extension of KhinchineโKahane inequality for new families of random vectors by using Pisier's inequalities for martingales. As a conse
Let the column vectors of X: M\_N, M<N, be distributed as independent complex normal vectors with the same covariance matrix 7. Then the usual quadratic form in the complex normal vectors is denoted by Z=XLX H where L: N\_N is a positive definite hermitian matrix. This paper deals with a representat
