Abstract We consider the problem of estimating the number of significant components in high-dimensional principal component analysis. We propose a new penalized approach using the explained variance ratio and the rigidity of the nonspiked sample eigenvalues of sample covariance matrices of $ p $ variables. Compared with methods in the existing literature, the consistency of the proposed estimator holds, not only for independent data, but also for some times series data when…
