Abstract

Matsumoto and Yor have recently discovered an interesting invariance property of a product of the generalized inverse Gaussian and gamma distributions. In this paper we obtain: (1) a complete regression version of its converse; (2) a converse to the matrix variate Matsumoto–Yor property which extends an earlier result. Of independent interest is a functional equation for matrix valued functions, which has been solved in the course of investigation of the second problem.
