Proof of Conjectures About the Expected Values of the Elementary Symmetric Functions of a Noncentral Wishart Matrix
非中心 Wishart 矩阵初等对称函数期望猜想的证明
This paper provides proof of conjectures about the expected values of the $j$th elementary symmetric function of the roots (i.e. $E(\operatorname{tr}_j A)$) of a non-central Wishart matrix. Utilizing this result we have obtained computationally convenient formula for the expected value of the $j$th elementary symmetric function of the roots of central positive definite quadratic form in matrix argument.
