چکیده
After proper rescaling and under some technical assumptions, the smallest eigenvalue of a sample covariance matrix with aspect ratio bounded away from 1 converges to the Tracy–Widom distribution. This complements the results on the largest eigenvalue, due to Soshnikov and Péché.

متن کاملUniversality of Local Eigenvalue Statistics for Some Sample Covariance Matrices
Abstract We consider random, complex sample covariance matrices 1 N X ∗X , where X is a p×N random matrix with i.i.d. entries of distribution μ. It has been conjectured that both the distribution of the distance between nearest neighbor eigenvalues in the bulk and that of the smallest eigenvalues become, in the limit N → ∞, p N → 1, the same as that identified for a complex Gaussian distributio...
متن کاملTuning-free penalized maximum likelihood to improve estimates of genetic covariance matrices pdfsubject
Partitioning of the phenotypic variation into its causal components to determine genetic 2 parameters is one of the basic tasks in quantitative genetics. For multiple characteristics of 3 interest, this involves the estimation of covariance matrices due to genetic and other effects. 4 It is well known that such estimates can be subject to substantial sampling variation, as the 5 number of param...
متن کاملLarge Deviations for Eigenvalues of Sample Covariance Matrices, with Applications to Mobile Communication Systems
We study sample covariance matrices of the form W = (1/n)CC , where C is a k × n matrix with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) mean 0 entries. This is a generalization of the so-calledWishart matrices, where the entries ofC are i.i.d. standard normal random variables. Such matrices arise in statistics as sample covariance matrices, and the high-dimensional case, when k is large, ...
