1 Journal of Multivariate Analysis 7, 2226 (999) Article ID jmva , available online at httpwww.idealibrary.com on Spherically Symmetric Logistic Distribution Nikolai A. Volodin The Australian Council for Educational Research, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Received October 23, 997 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. 999 Academic Press AMS 99 subject classifications 62H, 62H5, 6E5, 62E7. Key words and phrases logistic distribution; spherically symmetric distribution; approximation.. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to provide a complete description of the family of multivariate spherically symmetric distributions with marginal logistic. This problem has been discussed in a number of papers and the most recent results and references can be found in Arnold [2, 3]. Define a spherically symmetric distribution in the n-dimensional space R n to be a distribution whose probability density function (pdf) can be represented in the form p(x, x 2,..., x n )= f n (x T n 7 & x n ), where 7 is a positive definite matrix and x T n =(x, x 2,..., x n ). It is obvious that all marginal distributions should be the same when 7=I. Letf(x) be the marginal density distribution in this case. The notation s n =x T n 7 & x n will also be used. It is worth noting that 7 is not the covariance matrix but it is proportional to it. Using results from Bochner [4] and from McGraw and Wagner [7] the next theorem concerning the form of spherical distributions was given in Volodin [8] (original paper in Russian in 988) X99 3.

2 SPHERICAL LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTION 23 Theorem. For n=2m+, m=,2,...the following formula holds, f n (s n )= (&)m? m 7 2 d m f(- s n ); () and for n=2m, m=, 2,... the following formula is true, f n (s n )= 2}(&)m? m 7 2 d m f(- z 2 +s n ) dz. (2) Now apply formulae () and (2) to logistic distribution with probability density function f(x)= 2(+cosh(x)). 2. CASE OF ODD NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS n=2m+, m=, 2,... This case follows directly from (). The general formula is f n (s n )= (&)m? m 7 2 d m The exact formulae for n=3, 5, 7 are sinh(- s 3 ) f 3 (s 3 )= 4? s 3 (+cosh(- s 3 )), 2 2(+cosh(- s n )). f 5 (s 5 )= sinh(- s 5 )&- s 5 (2&cosh(- s 5 )) 8? s 32(+cosh(- s, 5 5 )) 2 3(+cosh(- s 7 ))(sinh(- s 7 )&- s 7 (2&cosh(- s 7 ))) &s 7 sinh(- s 7 )(5&cosh(- s 7 )) f 7 (s 7 )= 6? s 52 (+cosh(- s. 7 7 )) 3 It is easy to see that the formula for f 3 (s 3 ), which was given above is an alternative form for f 3 (s 3 )= tanh (- s 32) sech 2 (- s 3 2) 8? s 3, which was derived in Arnold and Robertson [] (see formula (3.4) in Arnold [3]).
3 24 NIKOLAI A. VOLODIN 3. CASE OF EVEN NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS n=2m, m=, 2,... The main problem in this case is to find an expression of the integral J(s n )# dz 2(+cosh(- z 2 +s n )) in a more convenient form which allows us to work with Lemma. For x> f n (s n )= 2}(&)m d m dz? m 7 2 2(+cosh(- z 2 +s n )). Proof. As x> then J(x)= &?x 2 [? 2 (2k&) 2 +x] &32. J(x)= = = = dz 2(+cosh(- z 2 +x)) = exp(&- z 2 +x) (&) k k& exp(&k - z 2 +x) dz (&) k& k - x exp(&- z 2 +x) dz (+exp(&- z 2 +x)) 2 (&) k& } k } exp(&(k&) - z 2 +x) dz exp(&k - x cosh(u)) cosh(u) du, where substitution z=- x sinh(u) has been made. For the Macdonald function K & (x) (a cylindrical function of an imaginary argument) the following integral representation (see in [5]) is true, K & (x)= exp(&x cosh(t)) cosh(&t) t, which gives for J(x) J(x)=- x From in [5] it is not difficult to extract that (&) k K (kx)= 2\ C+ln \ x 4?++ +? (&) k& kk (k - x). (3) l={ - x 2 +? 2 (2l&) 2l?= 2&
4 SPHERICAL LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTION 25 and taking into consideration that (ddx) K (x)=&k (x) it is easy to show that (&) k& kk (kx)= dx\ d = 2x &?x The last formula and (3) prove lemma. (&) k K (kx) + l= [? 2 (2l&) 2 +x 2 ] &32. Now when the following representation for f 2m (s 2m ) has been derived f 2m (s 2m )= 2(&)m&? m& 7 2 d m ds m 2m { it is easy to show by induction that or &32= s 2m [? 2 (2k&) 2 +s 2m ] f 2m (s 2m )= (2m&)!! 2{ 2 m&? m& 7 2m [? 2 (2k&) 2 +s 2m ] &(2m+)2 &s 2m (2m+) f 2m (s 2m )= (2m&)!! 2 m&? m& 7 2 [? 2 (2k&) 2 +s 2m ] &(2m+3)2= 2m? 2 (2k&) 2 &s 2m [? 2 (2k&) 2 +s 2m ] (2m+3)2. It is difficult to say how useful the two last formulae are for theoretical purposes but for calculations they are quite useful because it is easy to estimate the remainder for a given number of terms which were chosen for calculations. It is also possible to obtain a formula for f 2 (s 2 ) from f 3 (s 3 ) by integrating by one of the variables. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author acknowledges Dr. R. J.
