The salient properties of large empirical covariance and correlation matrices are studied for three datasets of size 54, 55 and 330. The covariance is defined as a simple cross product of the returns, with weights that decay logarithmically…

Linear wavelet density estimators are wavelet projections of the empirical measure based on independent, identically distributed observations. We study here the law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) and a Berry-Esseen type theorem. These…

When the underlying random variables are Gaussian, the classical Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is trivial, but the functional CLT is not. The objective of the paper is to investigate the functional CLT for stationary Gaussian processes in the…

This article studies the \emph{robust covariance matrix estimation} of a data collection $X = (x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ with $x_i = \sqrt \tau_i z_i + m$, where $z_i \in \mathbb R^p$ is a \textit{concentrated vector} (e.g., an elliptical random…

We show that, under mild assumptions, the spectrum of a sum of independent random matrices is close to that of the Gaussian random matrix whose entries have the same mean and covariance. This nonasymptotic universality principle yields…

In this paper, we show limit theorems for the weighted spectral measure of the Laguerre ensemble under a nonstandard scaling, when the parameter grows faster than the matrix size. For this parameter scaling, the limit behavior is similar to…
