Abstract
An algorithm is proposed and notions defined to determine the minimal sets of all possible higher order moments and cumulants of a random vector or a random matrix. The main attention has been paid to the case of symmetric matrices. Using the introduced notions, cumulants of arbitrary order for the Wishart distribution have been obtained.
