Abstract

The multivariate Kummer-Beta and multivariate Kummer-Gamma families of distributions have been proposed and studied recently by Ng and Kotz. These distributions are extensions of Kummer-Beta and Kummer-Gamma distributions. In this article we propose and study matrix variate generalizations of multivariate Kummer-Beta and multivariate Kummer-Gamma families of distributions.
