Abstract

In the existing multivariate Exponential Power Distribution (EPD), the shape parameter has the tendency to affect the variability in the data leading to distorted features of the distribution. This study resolves this problem by obtaining a generalized expression in place of the constant coefficient (0.5) of the quadratic form of the multivariate EPD as a function of the shape parameter, such that the variance-covariance matrix of the data is exactly equal to the scale parameter. The density function thus obtained is a more generalized multivariate EPD that provides flexibility in depicting the true underlying characteristics of the distribution for all sample sizes.
