Feb 28, 2020 at 15:20 comment added Michael Engelhardt If you know the eigenvalue distribution $\rho_{A} (\lambda )$, then $\mbox{Tr} [A^m] = \int d\lambda \lambda^{m} \rho_{A} (\lambda )$. This is even true for a single matrix $A$, before averaging over an ensemble.
Feb 28, 2020 at 14:28 comment added Carlo Beenakker the expectation of ${\rm tr}\, A^m$ depends only on the marginal distribution of a single eigenvalue, so it contains no information on the correlations between the eigenvalues.
Feb 28, 2020 at 7:17 comment added Math_Y What is the relation between $\mathrm{Tr}[A^m]$ and eigenvalue distribution? Could you please explain with more details?

Feb 28, 2020 at 0:37 comment added Michael Engelhardt If, as Yemon Choi suspects, your moments of $\mathbf{A} $ are traces of powers thereof, then you can just calculate them in the eigenbasis, where they are directly moments of the eigenvalue distribution.
Feb 27, 2020 at 23:09 comment added Yemon Choi Moreover, can you specify what class of random matrices you are considering? Square? Symmetric/hermitian? etc
Feb 27, 2020 at 23:07 comment added Yemon Choi I'm not familiar with the notion of a moment being matrix-valued. Are you sure you don't mean something like ${\rm Tr}((A^m)^*A^m)$?
