Matrix Kummer-Pearson VII Relation and Polynomial Pearson VII Configuration Density

A case of the matrix Kummer relation of Herz (1955) based on the Pearson VII type matrix model is derived in this paper. As a con- sequence, the polynomial Pearson VII configuration density is obtained and this sets the corresponding exact inference as a solvable aspect in shape theory. An application in postcode recognition, including a nu- merical comparison between the exact polynomial and the truncated configuration density, is given at the end of the paper
