statistics, an elliptical distribution is any member of a broad family of probability distributions that generalize the multivariate normal distribution. Intuitively...

independent of each other. The normal distribution is a subclass of the elliptical distributions. The normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, and...

multivariate normal distribution. The elliptical distributions are important in finance because if rates of return on assets are jointly elliptically distributed...
