Abstract
This paper provides a Monte Carlo study of approximating the non-central Wishart distribution by Central Wishart distribution by mean of 1. Multivariate Gram-Chalier expansion and 2. Laguerre polynomial expansion. For assessing the closeness of these approximations, 1,000 independent 2×2 non-central Wishart matrices are generated by computer. The numerical results indicate that the multivariate Gram-Chalier expansion provides a close approximation to the non-central Wishart distribution as long as the correlation coefficient is less than 0.8. Also, it appears that the Gram-Chalier expansion approximation is better than the Laguerre polynomial expansion approximation when the probability values are large.
