"""Some more special functions which may be useful for multivariate statistical analysis.""" import numpy as np from scipy.special import gammaln as loggam __all__ = ['multigammaln'] def multigammaln(a, d): r"""Returns the log of multivariate gamma, also sometimes called the generalized gamma. Parameters ---------- a : ndarray The multivariate gamma is computed for each item of `a`. d : int The dimension of the space of integration. Returns ------- res : ndarray The values of the log multivariate gamma at the given points `a`. Notes ----- The formal definition of the multivariate gamma of dimension d for a real `a` is .. math:: \Gamma_d(a) = \int_{A>0} e^{-tr(A)} |A|^{a - (d+1)/2} dA with the condition :math:`a > (d-1)/2`, and :math:`A > 0` being the set of all the positive definite matrices of dimension `d`. Note that `a` is a scalar: the integrand only is multivariate, the argument is not (the function is defined over a subset of the real set). This can be proven to be equal to the much friendlier equation .. math:: \Gamma_d(a) = \pi^{d(d-1)/4} \prod_{i=1}^{d} \Gamma(a - (i-1)/2). References ---------- R. J.
