Independent Elliptical Distributions Minimize Their $\mathcal{W}_2$ Wasserstein Distance from Independent Elliptical Distributions with the Same Density Generator
This short note is on a property of the $\mathcal{W}_2$ Wasserstein distance which indicates that independent elliptical distributions minimize their $\mathcal{W}_2$ Wasserstein distance from given independent elliptical distributions with the same density generators. Furthermore, we examine the implications of this property in the Gelbrich bound when the distributions are not necessarily elliptical. Meanwhile, we also generalize the results to the cases when the distributions are not independent. The primary purpose of this note is for the referencing of papers that need to make use of this property or its implications.

The Spectral-Domain $\mathcal{W}_2$ Wasserstein Distance for Elliptical Processes and the Spectral-Domain Gelbrich Bound
In this short note, we introduce the spectral-domain $\mathcal{W}_2$ Wasserstein distance for elliptical stochastic processes in terms of their power spectra. We also introduce the spectral-domain Gelbrich bound for proc…
A Fast, Robust Elliptical Slice Sampling Implementation for Linearly Truncated Multivariate Normal Distributions
Elliptical slice sampling, when adapted to linearly truncated multivariate normal distributions, is a rejection-free Markov chain Monte Carlo method. At its core, it requires analytically constructing an ellipse-polytope…
Optimal Bounds for Tyler's M-Estimator for Elliptical Distributions
A fundamental problem in statistics is estimating the shape matrix of an Elliptical distribution. This generalizes the familiar problem of Gaussian covariance estimation, for which the sample covariance achieves optimal …
An Improved Analysis of Gradient Tracking for Decentralized Machine Learning
We consider decentralized machine learning over a network where the training data is distributed across $n$ agents, each of which can compute stochastic model updates on their local data. The agent's common goal is to fi…

We present the elliptical processes -- a family of non-parametric probabilistic models that subsumes the Gaussian process and the Student-t process. This generalization includes a range of new fat-tailed behaviors yet re…
