The problem of estimating the covariance matrix $\Sigma$ of a $p$-variate distribution based on its $n$ observations arises in many data analysis contexts. While for $n>p$, the classical sample covariance matrix $\hat{\Sigma}_n$ is a good…

We numerically study the extreme-value statistics of the Schmidt eigenvalues of reduced density matrices obtained from the ergodic eigenstates. We start by exploring the extreme value statistics of the ultrametric random matrices and then…

Covariance matrices are fundamental to the analysis and forecast of economic, physical and biological systems. Although the eigenvalues $\{\lambda_i\}$ and eigenvectors $\{{\bf u}_i\}$ of a covariance matrix are central to such endeavors,…

We study the sample covariance matrix for real-valued data with general population covariance, as well as MANOVA-type covariance estimators in variance components models under null hypotheses of global sphericity. In the limit as matrix…

We consider $N\times N$ Gaussian random matrices, whose average density of eigenvalues has the Wigner semi-circle form over $[-\sqrt{2},\sqrt{2}]$. For such matrices, using a Coulomb gas technique, we compute the large $N$ behavior of the…

This paper derives the elliptical matrix variate version of the well known univariate Birnbaum and Saunders distribution. A generalisation based on a matrix transformation is proposed, instead of the independent element by element…

This work is concerned with finite range bounds on the variance of individual eigenvalues of Wigner random matrices, in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum, as well as for some intermediate eigenvalues. Relying on the GUE example,…

We consider the product of \(k_{n}\) independent \(n\times n\) complex Ginibre matrices and denote its eigenvalues by \(Z_{1},\ldots ,Z_{n}\). Let \(\alpha = \lim_{n\to\infty} n / k_{n}\). Using the determinantal point process method, we…

The statistical distribution of the largest value drawn from a sample of a given size has only three possible shapes: it is either a Weibull, a Fr\'echet or a Gumbel extreme value distributions. I describe in this short review how to relate…
