Theorems are given for the evaluation of the inverse moments of non- central chi-square and F random variables. Simple expressions are given for confluent hypergeometric functions \({}_ 1F_ 1(j/2;m/2,c)\) where j and m are non-negative integers and c is real. Examples of their use in the evaluation of a variety of estimators are provided.
