Some new algebra on pattern and transition matrices is used to determine the degrees of freedom and the parameter matrix, if the distribution of a linear sum of Wishart matrices is approximated by a single Wishart distribution. This approximation is then used to find a solution to the multivariate Behrens-Fisher problem similar to the Welch (1947) solution in the univariate case.
