Complex networks with directed, local interactions are ubiquitous in nature, and often occur with probabilistic connections due to both intrinsic stochasticity and disordered environments. Sparse non-Hermitian random matrices arise…

The eigenvalue method, suggested by the developer of the extensively used Analytic Hierarchy Process methodology, exhibits right-left asymmetry: the priorities derived from the right eigenvector do not necessarily coincide with the…

This paper is concerned with the interplay between statistical asymmetry and spectral methods. Suppose we are interested in estimating a rank-1 and symmetric matrix $\mathbf{M}^{\star}\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, yet only a randomly…

Covariance matrices are fundamental to the analysis and forecast of economic, physical and biological systems. Although the eigenvalues $\{\lambda_i\}$ and eigenvectors $\{{\bf u}_i\}$ of a covariance matrix are central to such endeavors,…

Sensitivity of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of symmetric matrix estimates to the removal of a single observation have been well documented in the literature. However, a complicating factor can exist in that the rank of the eigenvalues may…
