Abstract

The product moments of existing and new noncentral bimatrix variate beta distributions with bounded domain are derived. From these, exact expressions for the distributions of statistics are obtained by using the Mellin transform. These distributions add value to multivariate statistical analysis with specific reference to factors of Wilks’ statistics and the product of generalized statistics.
