Abstract

We discuss approximations for the distribution of eigenvalues of the ratio of Wishart matrices when the population eigenvalues are infinitely dispersed. The first approximation is expressed as the F distribution with suitable parameters, and the second is expressed by the product of F distributions. Numerical examples show that the proposed approximations are more accurate than the known asymptotic expansions of the normal distribution.
