Our paper is a unified framework combining the spiked model and covariance matrices without outliers. Examples and statistical applications are considered to illustrate our results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-21T15:44:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high dimensional sample covariance matrices", "general form", "empirical eigen-structure", "asymptotics", "population covariance matrices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
