Abstract: | In this paper, the spherical distribution is generalized to the Lp-norm spherical distribution, S(n, p), through the stochastic representation. Then the form of its p.d.f. characterizing the S(n, p) distribution is derived. Marginal, conditional distributions and the moments of S(n, p) distribution are obtained. The order statistics and the invariance property of S(n,p) distribution are also investigated. |
