Central limit theorems for eigenvalues in a spiked population model

چکیده
In a spiked population model, the population covariance matrix has all its eigenvalues equal to units except for a few fixed eigenvalues (spikes). This model is proposed by Johnstone to cope with empirical findings on various data sets. The question is to quantify the effect of the perturbation caused by the spike eigenvalues. A recent work by Baik and Silverstein establishes the almost sure limits of the extreme sample eigenvalues associated to the spike eigenvalues when the population and the sample sizes become large. This paper establishes the limiting distributions of these extreme sample eigenvalues. As another important result of the paper, we provide a central limit theorem on random sesquilinear forms. Résumé. Dans un modèle de variances hétérogènes, les valeurs propres de la matrice de covariance des variables sont toutes égales à l’unité sauf un faible nombre d’entre elles. Ce modèle a été introduit par Johnstone comme une explication possible de la structure des valeurs propres de la matrice de covariance empirique constatée sur plusieurs ensembles de données réelles. Une question importante est de quantifier la perturbation causée par ces valeurs propres différentes de l’unité. Un travail récent de Baik et Silverstein établit la limite presque sûre des valeurs propres empiriques extrêmes lorsque le nombre de variables tend vers l’infini proportionnellement à la taille de l’échantillon. Ce travail établit un théorème limite central pour ces valeurs propres empiriques extrêmes. Il est basé sur un nouveau théorème limite central pour les formes sesquilinéaires aléatoires.

متن کاملA note on the CLT of the LSS for sample covariance matrix from a spiked population model
Abstract: In this note, we establish an asymptotic expansion for the centering parameter appearing in the central limit theorems for linear spectral statistic of large-dimensional sample covariance matrices when the population has a spiked covariance structure. As an application, we provide an asymptotic power function for the corrected likelihood ratio statistic for testing the presence of spi...
متن کاملCentral limit theorems for eigenvalues of deformations of Wigner matrices
In this paper, we study the fluctuations of the extreme eigenvalues of a spiked finite rank deformation of a Hermitian (resp. symmetric) Wigner matrix when these eigenvalues separate from the bulk. We exhibit quite general situations that will give rise to universality or non universality of the fluctuations, according to the delocalization or localization of the eigenvectors of the perturbatio...
متن کاملLimit theorems for beta-Jacobi ensembles
For a β-Jacobi ensemble determined by parameters a1, a2 and n, under the restriction that the three parameters go to infinity with n and a1 being of small orders of a2, we obtain some limit theorems about the eigenvalues. In particular, we derive the asymptotic distributions for the largest and the smallest eigenvalues, the central limit theorems of the eigenvalues, and the limiting distributio...
