The First Negative Moment of Skew-t and Generalized Student's t-Distributions in the Principal Value Sense

The (Cauchy) principal value is a method for assigning values to certain improper integrals which would otherwise be undefined. Using the principal value sense, this study derives an explicit expression of the first negative moment of skew-t and generalized Student's t-distributions for practic...
