On the Distribution of Matrix Quadratic Forms

Abstract: A characterization of the distribution of the multivariate quadratic form given by XAX , where X is a p × n normally distributed matrix and A is an n × n symmetric real matrix, is presented. We show that the distribution of the quadratic form is the same as the distribution of a weighted sum of non-central Wishart distributed matrices. This is applied to derive the distribution of the sample covariance between the rows of X when the expectation is the same for every column and is estimated with the regular mea… Show more

“…The presentation of distribution of the matrix quadratic form, done by [23], can also be implemented in the context of the MVMMN family of distributions. Referring to theorem 2.2 of [23], they defined the distribution of quadratic form Q ¼ XAX > to be Q p ðA; M; ΣÞ where A is a n × n symmetric real matrix of rank r, and X � N p;n ðM; Σ; I n Þ.…”

“…Moreover, the matrix A in our work is stochastic but existing results on the distribution of the quadratic form are limited to the constant matrix A. It is worth to mention that there have been fruitful results on the distribution of the matrix quadratic form in random vector X when X is real [9], [10]. For complex random vectors, [11] considers the quadratic form in a zero-mean complex random vector and the case of a non-zero mean complex random vector is studied in [12], [13].…”
