Expected value and variance of trace function
Since $X^TAX$ is a scalar, $$\text{Tr}(X^TAX)= X^TAX = \text{Tr}(AXX^T)$$ so that
$$\text{E}(X^TAX) = \text{E}(\text{Tr}(AXX^T)) = \text{Tr}(\text{E} (A XX^T)) =
\text{Tr}(A\text{E}(XX^T))$$.
Here we …

Random matrix theory and research - a lot like doing linear algebra?
Go ahead! Within statistics, random matrices is used in multivariate analysis, a good "intro" is https://www.amazon.com/Aspects-Multivariate-Statistical-Theory-Muirhead/dp/0471769851 but is useful als …
