In 1985, skew-normal distribution was articulated, which modifies the normal probability density function by a multiplicative skewing function, and since then the idea has been extended to elliptically contoured distributions, yielding various families of skew-elliptical distributions. Contributors
<p>The most important properties of normal and Student t-distributions are presented. A number of applications of these properties are demonstrated. New related results dealing with the distributions of the sum, product and ratio of the independent normal and Student distributions are presented. The
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. Balakris
