Convergence of eigenvector empirical spectral distribution of sample covariance matrices
样本协方差矩阵特征向量经验谱分布的收敛
The eigenvector empirical spectral distribution (VESD) is a useful tool in studying the limiting behavior of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of covariance matrices. In this paper, we study the convergence rate of the VESD of sample covariance matrices to the deformed Marčenko–Pastur (MP) distribution. Consider sample covariance matrices of the form $\Sigma ^{1/2}XX^{*}\Sigma ^{1/2}$, where $X=(x_{ij})$ is an $M\times N$ random matrix whose entries are independent random…
