Abstract
In this paper, we present both integral and infinite series expressions of mixed moments of two quadratic forms in normal random variables. We also present efficient numerical methods for computing the mixed moments under each approach.
Keywords: Moments, Ratio of Quadratic Forms, Multivariate Normal Distribution
