Abstract

In this paper, we give a general recursive formula for [Pi(k)(i=0) Tr{W-mi}], where W similar to Wp (l, n) denotes a real Wishart matrix. Formulas for fixed n, p are presented as well as asymptotic versions when n/p (n,p ->infinity) -> c, i.e., when the so called Kolmogorov condition holds. Finally, we show application of the asymptotic moment relation when deriving moments for the Marchenko-Pastur distribution (free Poisson law). A numerical illustration using implementation of the main result is also performed.
