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 $p$…

For two large matrices ${\mathbf X}$ and ${\mathbf Y}$ with Gaussian i.i.d.\ entries and dimensions $T\times N_X$ and $T\times N_Y$, respectively, we derive the probability distribution of the singular values of $\mathbf{X}^T \mathbf{Y}$ in…

We provide finite-sample distribution approximations, that are uniform in the parameter, for inference in linear mixed models. Focus is on variances and covariances of random effects in cases where existing theory fails because their…

Let $X_N$ be a $N\times N$ matrix whose entries are i.i.d. complex random variables with mean zero and variance $\frac{1}{N}$. We study the asymptotic spectral distribution of the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix $X_N^*X_N$ for…

We consider the random matrix obtained by picking vectors randomly from a large collection of mutually unbiased bases of $\mathbb{C}^n$, and prove that the spectral distribution converges to the Marchenko-Pastur law. This shows that vectors…

This paper studies the limiting behavior of Tyler's M-estimator for the scatter matrix, in the regime that the number of samples $n$ and their dimension $p$ both go to infinity, and $p/n$ converges to a constant $y$ with $0<y<1$. We prove…

We place ourselves in the setting of high-dimensional statistical inference, where the number of variables $p$ in a data set of interest is of the same order of magnitude as the number of observations $n$. More formally, we study the…

We investigate whether the Wigner semi-circle and Marcenko-Pastur distributions, often used for deep neural network theoretical analysis, match empirically observed spectral densities. We find that even allowing for outliers, the observed…

In this paper, we investigate the limiting empirical spectral distribution (LSD) of sums of independent rank-one $k$-fold tensor products of $n$-dimensional vectors as $k,n \to \infty$. Assuming that the base vectors are complex random…

In this paper, we consider $m$ independent random rectangular matrices whose entries are independent and identically distributed standard complex Gaussian random variables and assume the product of the $m$ rectangular matrices is an $n$ by…

Estimating the eigenvalues of a population covariance matrix from a sample covariance matrix is a problem of fundamental importance in multivariate statistics; the eigenvalues of covariance matrices play a key role in many widely…

In this paper, we show that the largest and smallest eigenvalues of a sample correlation matrix stemming from $n$ independent observations of a $p$-dimensional time series with iid components converge almost surely to $(1+\sqrt{\gamma})^2$…

It is known (Hofmann-Credner and Stolz (2008)) that the convergence of the mean empirical spectral distribution of a sample covariance matrix W_n = 1/n Y_n Y_n^t to the Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur law remains unaffected if the rows and columns of…

We study sample covariance matrices arising from rectangular random matrices with i.i.d. columns. It was previously known that the resolvent of these matrices admits a deterministic equivalent when the spectral parameter stays bounded away…

This paper is concerned with extensions of the classical Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur law to time series. Specifically, $p$-dimensional linear processes are considered which are built from innovation vectors with independent, identically distributed…

We study the eigenvalue distributions for sums of independent rank-one $k$-fold tensor products of large $n$-dimensional vectors. Previous results in the literature assume that $k=o(n)$ and show that the eigenvalue distributions converge to…
