In this paper, we consider a data matrix $X\in\mathbb{C}^{N\times M}$ where all the columns are i.i.d. samples being $N$ dimensional complex Gaussian of mean zero and covariance $\Sigma\in\mathbb{C}^{N\times N}$. Here the population matrix…

We consider a spiked population model, proposed by Johnstone, whose population eigenvalues are all unit except for a few fixed eigenvalues. The question is to determine how the sample eigenvalues depend on the non-unit population ones when…

The extremal dependence structure of a regularly varying $d$-dimensional random vector can be described by its angular measure. The standard nonparametric estimator of this measure is the empirical measure of the observed angles of the $k$…

A key feature of a sequential study is that the actual sample size is a random variable that typically depends on the outcomes collected. While hypothesis testing theory for sequential designs is well established, parameter and precision…

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a standard tool for dimensional reduction of a set of $n$ observations (samples), each with $p$ variables. In this paper, using a matrix perturbation approach, we study the nonasymptotic relation…
