Matrix-variate beta distributions are applied in different fields of hypothesis testing, multivariate correlation analysis, zero regression, canonical correlation analysis and etc. A methodology is proposed to generate matrix-variate beta generator distributions by combining the matrix-variate beta kernel with an unknown function of the trace operator. Several statistical characteristics, exten...
