Consider $k$ independent random samples from $p$-dimensional multivariate normal distributions. We are interested in the limiting distribution of the log-likelihood ratio test statistics for testing for the equality of $k$ covariance…

Let $f(n)$ be a random completely multiplicative function such that $f(p) = \pm 1$ with probabilities $1/2$ independently at each prime. We study the conditional probability, given that $f(p) = 1$ for all $p < y$, that all partial sums of…

Let $\mathbf {x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf {x}_n$ be a random sample from a $p$-dimensional population distribution, where $p=p_n\to\infty$ and $\log p=o(n^{\beta})$ for some $0<\beta\leq1$, and let $L_n$ be the coherence of the sample correlation…

We derive the Marchenko-Pastur (MP) law for sample covariance matrices of the form $V_n=\frac{1}{n}XX^T$, where $X$ is a $p\times n$ data matrix and $p/n\to y\in(0,\infty)$ as $n,p \to \infty$. We assume the data in $X$ stems from a…

In terms of the Dirac representation of sample mean and the weak convergence of empirical distributions that holds almost surely, we construct a new proof for a strong law of large numbers of Kolmogorov's type with i.i.d. random variables…

Let X,X_1,X_2,... be independent identically distributed random variables and let h(x,y)=h(y,x) be a measurable function of two variables. It is shown that the bounded law of the iterated logarithm, $\limsup_n (n\log\log n)^{-1}|\sum_{1<=…

We consider inhomogeneous square random matrices of size $N$ with independent entries of mean 0 and finite variance. We assume that the variance profile of this matrix is doubly stochastic and has a band-like structure with an appropriately…

We derive upper bounds for probabilities of the form $P(g(\mathbf{X})\geq t)$ using the southwest boundary (recently introduced in our previous work) $\partial_{\mathrm{SW}} Q(g^{-1}[t,\infty))$, where $Q$ is a reflection to the first…

Let $X_1,..., X_N\in\R^n$ be independent centered random vectors with log-concave distribution and with the identity as covariance matrix. We show that with overwhelming probability at least $1 - 3 \exp(-c\sqrt{n}\r)$ one has $ \sup_{x\in…

Statistical inferences for sample correlation matrices are important in high dimensional data analysis. Motivated by this, this paper establishes a new central limit theorem (CLT) for a linear spectral statistic (LSS) of high dimensional…

Let $A$ be drawn uniformly at random from the set of all $n\times n$ symmetric matrices with entries in $\{-1,1\}$. We show that \[ \mathbb{P}( \det(A) = 0 ) \leq e^{-cn},\] where $c>0$ is an absolute constant, thereby resolving a…

Let $\{X_n;n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables on a sub-linear expectation space $(\Omega,\mathscr{H},\widehat{\mathbb E})$, $S_n=X_1+\ldots+X_n$. We consider the moments of $\max_{n\ge…

The circular law asserts that the empirical distribution of eigenvalues of appropriately normalized $n\times n$ matrix with i.i.d. entries converges to the uniform measure on the unit disc as the dimension $n$ grows to infinity. Consider an…
