Let $\mathbf X=(X_{jk})$ denote $n\times p$ random matrix with entries $X_{jk}$, which are independent for $1\le j\le n,1\le k\le p$. We consider the rate of convergence of empirical spectral distribution function of the matrix $\mathbf…

We study sample covariance matrices arising from multi-level components of variance. Thus, let $ B_n=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{j=1}^NT_{j}^{1/2}x_jx_j^TT_{j}^{1/2}$, where $x_j\in R^n$ are i.i.d. standard Gaussian, and…

In this paper, we investigate the limiting empirical spectral distribution (LSD) of sums of independent rank-one $k$-fold tensor products of $n$-dimensional vectors as $k,n \to \infty$. Assuming that the base vectors are complex random…

For two large matrices ${\mathbf X}$ and ${\mathbf Y}$ with Gaussian i.i.d.\ entries and dimensions $T\times N_X$ and $T\times N_Y$, respectively, we derive the probability distribution of the singular values of $\mathbf{X}^T \mathbf{Y}$ in…

This paper is concerned with extensions of the classical Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur law to time series. Specifically, $p$-dimensional linear processes are considered which are built from innovation vectors with independent, identically distributed…

We place ourselves in the setting of high-dimensional statistical inference, where the number of variables $p$ in a data set of interest is of the same order of magnitude as the number of observations $n$. More formally, we study the…

Consider a $N\times n$ random matrix $Y_n=(Y_{ij}^{n})$ where the entries are given by $$ Y_{ij}^{n}=\frac{\sigma_{ij}(n)}{\sqrt{n}} X_{ij}^{n} $$ the $X_{ij}^{n}$ being centered, independent and identically distributed random variables…

Bandeira et al. (2017) show that the eigenvalues of the Kendall correlation matrix of $n$ i.i.d. random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^p$ are asymptotically distributed like $1/3 + (2/3)Y_q$, where $Y_q$ has a Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur law with parameter…

We study linear spectral statistics of high dimensional sample covariance matrices in a regime where the empirical spectral distribution remains governed by the classical sample covariance law but the fluctuation theory is nonclassical. Our…
