COMMENT

As described in the Stanley reference, this sequence gives the expectation of the fourth moment of a random sign matrix (a matrix whose entries are independently set equal to -1 or 1 with equal probability) of size n. For large n, a(n) asymptotic to (n!)^2 (n^2+7n+10)/(2e^2) . - Kevin P. Costello (kcostell(AT)gmail.com), Oct 22 2007
