We consider the properties of the bootstrap as a tool for inference concerning the eigenvalues of a sample covariance matrix computed from an $n\times p$ data matrix $X$. We focus on the modern framework where $p/n$ is not close to 0 but…

Although the operator (spectral) norm is one of the most widely used metrics for covariance estimation, comparatively little is known about the fluctuations of error in this norm. To be specific, let $\hat\Sigma$ denote the sample…

In recent years, bootstrap methods have drawn attention for their ability to approximate the laws of "max statistics" in high-dimensional problems. A leading example of such a statistic is the coordinate-wise maximum of a sample average of…

Let $\hat\Sigma=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n X_i\otimes X_i$ denote the sample covariance operator of centered i.i.d.~observations $X_1,\dots,X_n$ in a real separable Hilbert space, and let $\Sigma=\mathbb{E}(X_1\otimes X_1)$. The focus of this…

Many have suggested a bootstrap procedure for estimating the sampling variability of principal component analysis (PCA) results. However, when the number of measurements per subject ($p$) is much larger than the number of subjects ($n$),…

Under certain conditions, the largest eigenvalue of a sample covariance matrix undergoes a well-known phase transition when the sample size $n$ and data dimension $p$ diverge proportionally. In the subcritical regime, this eigenvalue has…

Although there is an extensive literature on the eigenvalues of high-dimensional sample covariance matrices, much of it is specialized to independent components (IC) models -- in which observations are represented as linear transformations…
