After a hypothesis about some linear multivariate statistical model has been tested and rejected (e. g., in a MANOVA), many researchers employ simultaneous test procedures to locate the source (s) of ...

Special cases of the general solution give characterizations of the "multivariate generalized stable laws" and the multivariate semistable laws, and a method is presented to characterize the ...
