Averages over Ginibre's Ensemble of Random Real Matrices

We give a formula for computing the ensemble average of multiplicative class functions over the Gaussian ensemble of real asymmetric matrices. This formula allows ensemble averages to be written as the Pfaffian of Gram-like antisymmetric matrices formed with respect to a skew-symmetric inner product related to the class function.
