A. Kume and Andrew T.A. Wood

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2007, vol. 77, issue 8, 832-837

Abstract: It is shown that an arbitrary joint partial derivative of the Bingham normalising constant, expressed in standard form, is proportional to the normalising constant of a Bingham distribution of higher dimension. Two consequences of this result are noted.
