Asymptotic joint distribution of extreme eigenvalues and trace of large sample covariance matrix in a generalized spiked population model

چکیده
Abstract: This paper studies the joint limiting behavior of extreme eigenvalues and trace of large sample covariance matrix in a generalized spiked population model, where the asymptotic regime is such that the dimension and sample size grow proportionally. The form of the joint limiting distribution is applied to conduct Johnson-Graybill-type tests, a family of approaches testing for signals in a statistical model. For this, higher order correction is further made, helping alleviate the impact of finite-sample bias. The proof rests on determining the joint asymptotic behavior of two classes of spectral processes, corresponding to the extreme and linear spectral statistics respectively.

On sample eigenvalues in a generalized spiked population model
In the spiked population model introduced by Johnstone [11], the population covariance matrix has all its eigenvalues equal to unit except for a few fixed eigenvalues (spikes). The question is to quantify the effect of the perturbation caused by the spike eigenvalues. Baik and Silverstein [5] establishes the almost sure limits of the extreme sample eigenvalues associated to the spike eigenvalue...

متن کاملAsymptotics of Sample Eigenstructure for a Large Dimensional Spiked Covariance Model
This paper deals with a multivariate Gaussian observation model where the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix are all one, except for a finite number which are larger. Of interest is the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix when the sample size and the dimension of the observations both grow to infinity so that their ratio converges to a positive constant. Whe...

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 کاملStatistical eigen-inference from large Wishart matrices
The asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of a sample covariance matrix is described when the observations are from a zero mean multivariate (real or complex) normal distribution whose covariance matrix has population eigenvalues of arbitrary multiplicity. In particular, the asymptotic normality of the fluctuation in the trace of powers of the sample covariance matrix from the limiting quantit...
