Asymptotic independence of spiked eigenvalues and linear spectral statistics for large sample covariance matrices
大样本协方差矩阵尖峰特征值与线性谱统计量的渐近独立性
We consider general high-dimensional spiked sample covariance models and show that their leading sample spiked eigenvalues and their linear spectral statistics are asymptotically independent when the sample size and dimension are proportional to each other. As a byproduct, we also establish the central limit theorem of the leading sample spiked eigenvalues by removing the block diagonal assumption on the population covariance matrix, which is commonly needed in the…
