摘要
This article considers a class of multivariate (dependent) variables that includes those that are obtained as scale mixtures of elliptically symmetric distributions. We provide a simple, intuitive proof that the ratio of two such variables has a general Cauchy distribution. This result extends the results of DeSilva concerning properties of a certain class of dependent multivariate symmetric stable distributions.
