WishartSpikePar

Spiked Wishart Eigenvalue Centering and Scaling


Description

Centering and scaling for the sample eigenvalue from a spiked Wishart matrix (sample covariance matrix) with ndf degrees of freedom, pdim dimensions, and population covariance matrix diag(spike+var,var,var,...,var).

Usage

WishartSpikePar( spike, ndf=NA, pdim=NA, var=1, beta=1 )

Arguments

spike

the value of the spike.

ndf

the number of degrees of freedom for the Wishart matrix.

pdim

the number of dimensions (variables) for the Wishart matrix.

var

the population (noise) variance.

beta

the order parameter (1 or 2).

Details

The returned values give appropriate centering and scaling for the largest eigenvalue from a spiked Wishart matrix so that the centered and scaled quantity converges in distribution to a normal random variable with mean 0 and variance 1.

For the spiked distribution to exist, spike must be greater than sqrt(pdim/ndf)*var.

Supported values for beta are 1 for real data and and 2 for complex data.

Value

centering

gives the centering.

scaleing

gives the scaling.
