โฆ Synopsis
In this paper exact formulae of the probability density function for the spherically symmetric distribution with marginal logistic are given. They are entirely different for odd and even dimensions. For an odd number of dimensions it is possible to express them by elementary functions but for an even number of dimensions, it is possible only by an infinite series of functions. These series, however, are very convenient for computations and could be useful in practice.

The theory of Bayesian least squares is developed for a general and more tangible notion of conjugacy than in models which make the more conventional assumption of normality. This paper is primarily concerned with extending the results of classical conjugate normal-normal Bayesian analysis to the ca
In the normal case it is well known that, although the James-Stein rule is minimax. it is not admissible and the associated positive rule is one way to improve on it. We extend this result to the class of the spherically symmetric distributions and to a large class of shrinkage rules. Moreover we pr
