Abstract

This paper first examines the skewness of Wishart distribution, using Tracy and Sultan(1993)'s results. Second, it investigates the variance-covariance matrix of random matrix $S_Y=YY'$ which has a non-central Wishart distribution. Third, it proposes the exact form of the third moment of the random matrix with non-central Wishart distribution.
