Density of X ~ Wishart(df, Sigma).

dwishart(X, df, Sigma, log = FALSE, is.chol = FALSE)

Arguments

X

the observation

df

degrees of freedom

Sigma

scale matrix

log

if TRUE, return the log-density

is.chol

if TRUE, Sigma and X are the upper Cholesky factors of Sigma and X

Value

the density in X

Wishart parametrization

Uses (Press 2012; Anderson 2003) parametrization.

$$X \sim W(\nu, S)$$ with \(S\) is a \(p \times p\) matrix, \(\nu >= p\) (the degrees of freedom).

Then: $$E[X] = \nu S$$
