If
for
,
...,
has a multivariate normal distribution
with mean vector
and covariance matrix
, and
denotes the
matrix composed of the row vectors
, then the
matrix
has a Wishart distribution with scale matrix
and degrees of freedom parameter
. The Wishart distribution is most typically used when describing
the covariance matrix of multinormal samples.
The Wishart distribution is implemented as WishartDistribution[sigma,
m] in the Wolfram Language
package MultivariateStatistics` .
