Abstract

Suppose that Xn=(xjk)\mathbf X_n=(x_{jk}) is N×nN\times n whose elements are independent real variables with mean zero, variance 1 and the fourth moment equal to three. The separable sample covariance matrix is defined as Bn=1NT2n1/2XnT1nXnT2n1/2\mathbf{B}_n = \frac1N\mathbf{T}_{2n}^{1/2} \mathbf{X}_n \mathbf{T}_{1n} \mathbf{X}_n' \mathbf{T}_{2n}^{1/2} where T1n\mathbf{T}_{1n} is a symmetric matrix and T2n1/2\mathbf{T}_{2n}^{1/2} is a symmetric square root of the nonnegative definite symmetric matrix T2n\mathbf{T}_{2n}. Its linear spectral statistics (LSS) are shown to have Gaussian limits when n/Nn/N approaches a positive constant.
