Missing data is a common issue in many biomedical studies. Under a paired design, some subjects may have missing values in either one or both of the conditions due to loss of follow-up, insufficient biological samples, etc. Such partially…

We propose another proof of the high dimensional spectrum convergence of the weighted sample covariance, more concise and self-sufficient but with stronger, but reasonable assumptions. We explain and illustrates this theorem for different…
