We find that the statistics of most of the eigenvalues in the spectrum of C agree with the predictions of random matrix theory, but there are deviations for a few of the largest eigenvalues. We find that C has the universal properties of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of random matrices. Furthermore, we analyze the eigenvectors of C through their inverse participation ratio and find eigenvectors with large inverse participation ratios at both edges of the eigenvalue spectrum--a situation reminiscent of results in localization theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-02-20T17:13:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "financial time series", "non-universal properties", "random matrix theory", "cross-correlation", "large inverse participation ratios" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
