Results on the spectral behavior of random matrices as the dimension increases are applied to the problem of detecting the number of sources impinging on an array of sensors. A common strategy to solve this problem is to estimate the…

We prove the Marchenko-Pastur law for the eigenvalues of $p \times p$ sample covariance matrices in two new situations where the data does not have independent coordinates. In the first scenario - the block-independent model - the $p$…
