§8.23 Statistical Applications

►The functions $P(a,x)$ and $Q(a,x)$ are used extensively in statistics as the probability integrals of the gamma distribution; see Johnson et al. (1994, pp. 337–414). Particular forms are the chi-square distribution functions; see Johnson et al. (1994, pp. 415–493). The function ${\mathrm{B}}_x(a,b)$ and its normalization $I_x(a,b)$ play a similar role in statistics in connection with the beta distribution; see Johnson et al. (1995, pp. 210–275). …

… ►Bernoulli polynomials appear in statistical physics (Ordóñez and Driebe (1996)), in discussions of Casimir forces (Li et al. (1991)), and in a study of quark-gluon plasma (Meisinger et al. (2002)). ►Euler polynomials also appear in statistical physics as well as in semi-classical approximations to quantum probability distributions (Ballentine and McRae (1998)).

8: 35.9 Applications

… ►In multivariate statistical analysis based on the multivariate normal distribution, the probability density functions of many random matrices are expressible in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions of matrix argument ${}_p{}^{}F_q^{}$, with $p\le 2$ and $q\le 1$. … ►For other statistical applications of ${}_p{}^{}F_q^{}$ functions of matrix argument see Perlman and Olkin (1980), Groeneboom and Truax (2000), Bhaumik and Sarkar (2002), Richards (2004) (monotonicity of power functions of multivariate statistical test criteria), Bingham et al. (1992) (Procrustes analysis), and Phillips (1986) (exact distributions of statistical test criteria). … ►In the nascent area of applications of zonal polynomials to the limiting probability distributions of symmetric random matrices, one of the most comprehensive accounts is Rains (1998).
