On the noncentral distribution of the ratio of the extreme roots of wishart matrix

The distribution of the ratio of the extreme latent roots of the Wishart matrix is useful in testing the sphericity hypothesis for a multivariate normal population. Let X be a p×n matrix whose columns are distributed independently as multivariate normal with zero mean vector and covariance matrix ∑....
