Abstract

In this paper, the distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic for testing the hypothesis that the covariance matrix of a p-variate normal distribution is circular symmetric has been derived. The distribution is obtained in series form using the inverse Mellin transform and the residue theorem. Percentage points for p=4,5,6 and 7 have been computed using distributional results derived in this article.
