Abstract

A new type of generalized matrix variate gamma distribution is defined. The proposed  distribution is the matrix variate analog of Agarwal and Kalla (1996) scalar generalized gamma distribution. Some of the well-known matrix variate distributions are shown to be its particular cases. The main statistical properties of the proposed generalized matrix   variate gamma distribution are work out. Finally, some probability distributions connected with the generalized matrix variate gamma distribution are introduced.
