In this paper, we introduce a matrix variate slash distribution as a scale mixture of the matrix variate normal and the uniform distributions. We study some properties of the proposed distribution and give maximum likelihood (ML) estimators of its parameters using EM algorithm. We provide an iteratively reweighting algorithm to compute the ML estimates. Also, we give a small simulation study to show performance of the algorithm. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
