Abstract

An approach via stochastic calculus was given by Kendall in [7] to the Mardia–Dryden shape distribution of three labelled independent -random points (j = 1, 2, 3). We give here the analogous approach for the general case discussed in [3] in which k labelled random points have a complex normal distribution.
