From the book reviews:“The book is a thorough presentation of the results from the literature and some new ones and is a product of a careful work of its authors. … the book under review is a useful collection of numerous facts concerning elliptically contoured distributions for random matrices. It may find its place in research libraries as a valuable reference source and will surely appeal to the researches working in the theory of multivariate distributions.” (Ilya S. Molchanov, zbMATH 1306.62028, 2015)
