This paper provides a systematic and comprehensive treatment for obtaining general expressions of any order, for the moments and cumulants of spherically and elliptically symmetric multivariate distributions; results for the case of multivariate t-distribution and related skew-t distribution are discussed in some detail.

We study the concept of multivariate dispersion order, defined as the existence of an expansion function that maps a random vector to another one, for multivariate distributions with the same dependence structure. As a particular case, we can order the multivariate t-distribution family in dispersion sense. Finally, we use these results in the problem of detection and characterization of influential observations in regression analysis. This problem can often be used to compare two multivariate t-distributions.
