Let $\mathbf X=(X_{jk})$ denote a $n\times p$ random matrix with entries $X_{jk}$, which are independent for $1\le j\le n, 1\le k\le p$. Let $n,p$ tend to infinity such that $\frac np=y+O(n^{-1})\in(0,1]$. For those values of $n,p$ we…

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 $p$…

We study the limiting spectral distribution of sample covariance matrices $XX^T$, where $X$ are $p\times n$ random matrices with correlated entries, for the cases $p/n\to y\in [0,\infty)$. If $y>0$, we obtain the Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur…
