Generalised shape theory via pseudo-Wishart distribution

The non isotropic noncentral elliptical shape distributions via pseudo-Wishart distribution are founded. This way, the classical shape theory is extended to non isotropic case and the normality assumption is replaced by assuming a elliptical distribution. In several cases, the new shape distributions are easily computable and then the inference procedure can be studied under exact densities. An application in Biology is studied under the classical gaussian approach and two non gaussian models.

Shape theory via polar decomposition

This work proposes a new model in the context of statistical theory of shape, based on the polar decomposition. The non isotropic noncentral elliptical shape distributions via polar decomposition is derived in the context of zonal polynomials, avoiding the invariant polynomials and the open problems for their computation. The new polar shape distributions are easily computable and then the inference procedure can be studied under exact densities. As an example of the technique, a classical application in Biology is studied under three models, the usual Gaussian and two non normal Kotz models; the best model is selected by a modified BIC criterion, then a test for equality in polar shapes is performed.

Shape Theory Via SV Decomposition II

The non isotropic and non central elliptical shape distributions via the Le and Kendall SVD decomposition approach are derived in this paper in the context of invariant polynomials and zonal polynomials. The so termed cone and disk densities here obtained generalise some results of the literature. Finally, some particular densities are applied in a classical data of Biology, and the inference is performed after choosing the best model by using a modified BIC criterion.

Shape theory via SVD decomposition I

This work finds the non isotropic noncentral elliptical shape distributions via SVD decomposition in the context of zonal polynomials, avoiding the invariant polynomials and the open problems for their computation. The new shape distributions are easily computable and then the inference procedure is based on exact densities instead of the published approximations and asymptotic densities of isotropic models. An application of the technique is illustrated with a classical landmark data in Biology, for this, three models are proposed, the usual Gaussian and two non Gaussian; the best one is chosen by using a modified BIC criterion.

Shape Theory via QR decomposition

This work sets the non isotropic noncentral elliptical shape distributions via QR decomposition in the context of zonal polynomials, avoiding the invariant polynomials and the open problems for their computation. The new shape distributions are easily computable and then the inference procedure can be studied under exact densities instead under the published approximations and asymptotic densities under isotropic models. An application in Biology is studied under the classical gaussian approach and a two non gaussian models.
