Wishart Processes and Affine Diffusions on Positive Semidefinite Matrices

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Wishart processes have been first introduced by Bru [24] for some applications in biology on the perturbation of experimental data. Their definition and main mathematical properties are described in her paper [25]. They are also named because, as we will see, their marginal laws follow Wishart distributions. These distributions have been introduced by Wishart [124] in 1928. They arise naturally in statistics when estimating the covariance matrix of a Gaussian vector.
