Abstract

This note describes the relationship between ratios of random variables from centred elliptically symmetric distributions and the Cauchy distribution, with particular reference to a recent article in this journal by Nadarajah [On the ratio X/Y from some elliptically symmetric distributions, J. Multivariate Anal. 97 (2006) 342–358].
