Coherency matrix of partially polarized light doesn't contain all information on polarization state?

The electric field of quasi-monochromatic, partially polarized light can be expressed by the following random process (Goodman, Statistical optics) $$\bar{E}(t,\bar{x})=u_{x}(t,\bar{x})\bar{e}_{x}+u_{...
