Sample covariance matrices from multi-population typically exhibit several large spiked eigenvalues, which stem from differences between population means and are crucial for inference on the underlying data structure. This paper…
In this paper, our objective is to present a constraining principle governing the spectral properties of the sample covariance matrix. This principle exhibits harmonious behavior across diverse limiting frameworks, eliminating the need for…
For each 1 < p < infinity, there exists a positive constant c_p, depending only on p, such that the following holds. Let (d_k), (e_k) be real-valued martingale difference sequences. If for for all bounded nonnegative predictable sequences…
It is an elementary fact that if we fix an arbitrary set of $d+1$ affine independent points $\{p_0,\dots p_d\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, then the Euclidean distances $\{|x-p_j|\}_{j=0}^d$ determine the point $x$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ uniquely. In…
In this note, we claim that diagonal scaling of a sample covariance matrix is asymptotically inconsistent if the ratio of the dimension to the sample size converges to a positive constant, where population is assumed to be Gaussian with a…
We begin with an interpretation of the L1-distance between two power spectral densities and then, following an analogous rationale, we develop a natural metric for quantifying distance between respective covariance matrices.
This article is concerned with the spectral behavior of $p$-dimensional linear processes in the moderately high-dimensional case when both dimensionality $p$ and sample size $n$ tend to infinity so that $p/n\to0$. It is shown that, under an…
Distance correlation is a measure of dependence between two paired random vectors or matrices of arbitrary, not necessarily equal, dimensions. Unlike Pearson correlation, the population distance correlation coefficient is zero if and only…
Let $\cal{P}$ be an affine invariant property of functions $\mathbb{F}_p^n \to [R]$ for fixed $p$ and $R$. We show that if $\cal{P}$ is locally testable with a constant number of queries, then one can estimate the distance of a function $f$…
The $p$-curvature of a system of linear differential equations in positive characteristic $p$ is a matrix that measures how far the system is from having a basis of polynomial solutions. We show that the similarity class of the…
In this paper, we study a class of two sample test statistics based on inter-point distances in the high dimensional and low sample size setting. Our test statistics include the well-known energy distance and maximum mean discrepancy with…
We give a closed formula for the dimension of all linear systems in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with assigned multiplicity at arbitrary collections of points lying on a rational normal curve of degree $n$. In particular we give a purely geometric…
It is well known that one can find a rational normal curve in $\mathbb P^n$ through $n+3$ general points. We prove a generalization of this to higher dimensional varieties, showing that smooth varieties of minimal degree can be interpolated…
By studying various rational integrable maps on $\mathbf{\hat C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that periodic points form an invariant variety of dimension $\ge p$ for each period, in contrast to the case of nonintegrable maps in which…
We consider certain subsets of the space of $n\times n$ matrices of the form $K = \cup_{i=1}^m SO(n)A_i$, and we prove that for $p>1, q \geq 1$ and for connected $\Omega'\subset\subset\Omega\subset \R^n$, there exists positive constant…
It is common for genomic data analysis to use $p$-values from a large number of permutation tests. The multiplicity of tests may require very tiny $p$-values in order to reject any null hypotheses and the common practice of using randomly…
By studying periodic points for rational maps on $\bm{C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that they form an invariant variety of dimension $p$ if the periodicity conditions are `fully correlated', and a set of isolated points if the…
Distance covariance and distance correlation are scalar coefficients that characterize independence of random vectors in arbitrary dimension. Properties, extensions, and applications of distance correlation have been discussed in the recent…
In this note we show that the degree of the interpolation polynomial for equidistant base points is characterized by the regularity of matrices of combinatorical type.
Testing the independence between random vectors is a fundamental problem in statistics. Distance correlation, a recently popular dependence measure, is universally consistent for testing independence against all distributions with finite…
