EDGEWORTH CORRECTION FOR THE LARGEST EIGENVALUE IN A SPIKED PCA MODEL.


ABSTRACT: We study improved approximations to the distribution of the largest eigenvalue ?^ of the sample covariance matrix of n zero-mean Gaussian observations in dimension p + 1. We assume that one population principal component has variance ? > 1 and the remaining 'noise' components have common variance 1. In the high-dimensional limit p/n ? ? > 0, we study Edgeworth corrections to the limiting Gaussian distribution of ?^ in the supercritical case ??>?1?+? . The skewness correction involves a quadratic polynomial, as in classical settings, but the coefficients reflect the high-dimensional structure. The methods involve Edgeworth expansions for sums of independent non-identically distributed variates obtained by conditioning on the sample noise eigenvalues, and the limiting bulk properties and fluctuations of these noise eigenvalues.

We study improved approximations to the distribution of the largest eigenvalue ℓ ^ of the sample covariance matrix of <i>n</i> zero-mean Gaussian observations in dimension <i>p</i> + 1. We assume that one population principal component has variance ℓ > 1 and the remaining 'noise' components have common variance 1. In the high-dimensional limit <i>p/n → γ ></i> 0, we study Edgeworth corrections to the limiting Gaussian distribution of ℓ ^ in the supercritical case ℓ ​ >   1   + γ . The skewn  ...[more]
