dc.description.abstract | The increased complexity and dimensionality of data necessitates the development of new models that can adequately model the data. Advances in computational approaches have pathed the way for consideration and implementation of more complicated models, previously avoided due to practical difficulties. New models within theWishart ensemble are developed and some properties are derived. Algorithms for the practical implementation of these matrix variate models are proposed. Simulation studies and real datasets are used to illustrate the use and improved performance of these new models in Bayesian analysis of the multivariate and univariate normal models. From this speculative research study the following papers emanated: 1. J. Van Niekerk, A. Bekker, M. Arashi, and J.J.J. Roux (2015). “Subjective Bayesian analysis of the elliptical model”.
