On eigenvalues of a renormalized sample correlation matrix
摘要
This paper studies the asymptotic spectral properties of a renormalized sample correlation matrix, including the limiting spectral distribution, the properties of largest eigenvalues, and the central limit theorem for linear spectral statistics. All asymptotic results are derived under a unified framework, where the dimension-to-sample-size ratio p/n → c ∈ (0, ∞]. Based on our central limit theorem result, we propose an independence test statistic capable of operating effectively in both high- and ultrahigh-dimensional scenarios. Simulation experiments demonstrate the accuracy of the theoretical results.
