| Summary: | A formula for the determinant of a matrix in terms of powers of traces is presented. Then, some expansions for powers of determinants of positive definite matrices in terms of zonal polynomials are derived. By making use of these, the associated elliptical families of matrix-variate distributions are obtained and applied in the framework of statistical shape theory, through the determination of the central non-isotropic configuration density. Finally, a relationship between the determinant and the permanent of a matrix is obtained. |
