On Gaussian comparison inequality and its application to spectral analysis of large random matrices

چکیده
Recently, Chernozhukov, Chetverikov, and Kato [Ann. Statist. 42 (2014) 1564–1597] developed a new Gaussian comparison inequality for approximating the suprema of empirical processes. This paper exploits this technique to devise sharp inference on spectra of large random matrices. In particular, we show that two long-standing problems in random matrix theory can be solved: (i) simple bootstrap inference on sample eigenvalues when true eigenvalues are tied; (ii) conducting two-sample Roy’s covariance test in high dimensions. To establish the asymptotic results, a generalized -net argument regarding the matrix rescaled spectral norm and several new empirical process bounds are developed and of independent interest.

Comparison and Anti-concentration Bounds for Maxima of Gaussian Random Vectors
Slepian and Sudakov-Fernique type inequalities, which compare expectations of maxima of Gaussian random vectors under certain restrictions on the covariance matrices, play an important role in probability theory, especially in empirical process and extreme value theories. Here we give explicit comparisons of expectations of smooth functions and distribution functions of maxima of Gaussian rando...
متن کاملSpectral radii of sparse random matrices
We establish bounds on the spectral radii for a large class of sparse random matrices, which includes the adjacency matrices of inhomogeneous Erdős-Rényi graphs. For the Erdős-Rényi graph G(n, d/n), our results imply that the smallest and second-largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix converge to the edges of the support of the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution provided that d log n.

متن کاملCartesian decomposition of matrices and some norm inequalities
Let X be an n-square complex matrix with the Cartesian decomposition X = A + i B, where A and B are n times n Hermitian matrices. It is known that $Vert X Vert_p^2 leq 2(Vert A Vert_p^2 + Vert B Vert_p^2)$, where $p geq 2$ and $Vert . Vert_p$ is the Schatten p-norm. In this paper, this inequality and some of its improvements ...
متن کاملDistribution of Eigenvalues of Real Symmetric Palindromic Toeplitz Matrices and Circulant Matrices
Consider the ensemble of real symmetric Toeplitz matrices, each independent entry an i.i.d. random variable chosen from a fixed probability distribution p of mean 0, variance 1, and finite higher moments. Previous investigations showed that the limiting spectral measure (the density of normalized eigenvalues) converges weakly and almost surely, independent of p, to a distribution which is almos...
متن کاملComparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics
Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...
