Popis: The Hartman-Watson distribution with density $f_{r}(t)=\frac {1}{I_{0}(r)} \theta (r,t)$ with r > 0 is a probability distribution defined on $t \in \mathbb {R}_{+}$ , which appears in several problems of applied probability. The density of this distribution is given by an integral θ(r, t) which is difficult to evaluate numerically for small t → 0. Using saddle point methods, we obtain the first two terms of the t → 0 expansion of θ(ρ/t, t) at fixed ρ > 0.
