Determinant of a random symmetric matrix

I am trying to determine the determinant of the following uniformly distributed random symmetric matrix $A$ with zero mean and $approx 2.9$ standard deviation.



begin{equation}
A=
begin{pmatrix}
1 & cos alpha_{12} & cos alpha_{13} & dots &cos alpha_{1N} \
cos alpha_{12}& 1 & cos alpha_{23} & dots &cos alpha_{2N} \
cos alpha_{13} & cos alpha_{23} & 1 & dots &cos alpha_{3N} \
vdots & vdots & vdots & quad & vdots \
cos alpha_{1N} & cos alpha_{2N} & cos alpha_{3N} & dots & 1\
end{pmatrix}
end{equation}

Where each vectors are linearly independent and $alpha_{ij} in [-0.5,0.5]$, for all $i,j=1,2,3,dots,N$.



Any valuable resource or help is appreciated.

    What do you mean by "predict"?

  • You wrote symmetric matrix. Thus we should assume $alpha_{ij}=alpha_{ji}$.

    If you're talking about a random matrix you should specify the probability distribution for the parameters $alpha_{ij}$.
