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]
