Differentiability of t-functionals of location and scatter
The paper aims at finding widely and smoothly defined nonparametric location and scatter functionals. As a convenient vehicle, maximum likelihood estimation of the location vector μ and scatter matrix Σ of an elliptically symmetric t distribution on ℝd with degrees of freedom ν>1 extends to an M-...
