Let $\mathbf {x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf {x}_n$ be a random sample from a $p$-dimensional population distribution, where $p=p_n\to\infty$ and $\log p=o(n^{\beta})$ for some $0<\beta\leq1$, and let $L_n$ be the coherence of the sample correlation…

Due to their parsimony, separable covariance models have been popular in modeling matrix-variate data. However, the inference from such a model may be misleading if the population covariance matrix $\Sigma$ is actually non-separable,…
