摘要

In this study, we explore both weak and strong convergence properties of extreme eigenvalues in a large-dimensional sample covariance matrix, specifically in cases where the data matrix comprises independent, though not identically distributed, elements. Our findings reveal that, provided there exists a uniform boundedness condition on the \((2+\delta )\) ( 2 + δ ) -th moment for some \(\delta >0\) δ > 0 and the proper Lindeberg condition is satisfied, the established convergence results in Yin, Bai and Krishnaiah, (Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 78:509–521, 1988) and Bai, and Yin (Ann. Probab. 21:1275–1294, 1993) remain applicable.
