In statistics, the matrix t-distribution (or matrix variate t-distribution) is the generalization of the multivariate t-distribution from vectors to matrices.[1][2]
The matrix t-distribution shares the same relationship with the multivariate t-distribution that the matrix normal distribution shares with the multivariate normal distribution: If the matrix has only one row, or only one column, the distributions become equivalent to the corresponding (vector-)multivariate distribution. The matrix t-distribution is the compound distribution that results from an infinite mixture of a matrix normal distribution with an inverse Wishart distribution placed over either of its covariance matrices,[1] and the multivariate t-distribution can be generated in a similar way.[2]
In a Bayesian analysis of a multivariate linear regression model based on the matrix normal distribution, the matrix t-distribution is the posterior predictive distribution.[3]
Properties
If
, then we have the following properties:[2]
Transpose transform:

Linear transform: let A (r-by-n), be of full rank r ≤ n and B (p-by-s), be of full rank s ≤ p, then:

The characteristic function and various other properties can be derived from the re-parameterised formulation (see below).

An alternative parameterisation of the matrix t-distribution uses two parameters

This formulation reduces to the standard matrix t-distribution with 
This formulation of the matrix t-distribution can be derived as the compound distribution that results from an infinite mixture of a matrix normal distribution with an inverse multivariate gamma distribution placed over either of its covariance matrices.
Properties
If
then[2][3]

The property above comes from Sylvester's determinant theorem:

If
and
and
are nonsingular matrices then[2][3]

The characteristic function is[3]

is the type-two Bessel function of Herz[clarification needed] of a matrix argument.
