Expected value of a multivariate distribution

Given this random vector: $$ \mathbf{x} = \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \end{bmatrix} $$ And this probability distribution function that takes it as argument: $$ f_\mathbf{X}(\mathbf{x}) = ...

How to determine the degrees of freedom of an inner-product matrix of two random matrices?

I have two random matrices A and B, with N columns each. The columns of A and B are independent but not necessarily identically distributed. A and B may be considered as two instances of an underlying ...

Suboptimal confidence for bounds on the extreme eigenvalues of random matrices: can they be improved?

Typical results from the literature of Random Matrix Theory (RMT) (e.g., Tropp'11, Vershynin'12) provide probabilistic guarantees for large deviation of the extreme eigenvalues of random matrices like ...

spectral norm of random matrix

Suppose $A$ is a $n \times n$ random matrix with centered Gaussian (real) i.i.d entries with variance $\sigma^2/n$. What to we know about the spectral norm $s(A)$ of $A$, that is $\sqrt{\rho(A^t A)}$ ...

Studying the maxima of columns of a random matrix as a point process

Consider a matrix, $S$, of i.i.d. real RVs : $X_{ij}$ for $1 \leq i \leq s$, $1 \leq j \leq n$. Let $F$ denote the distribution of $X_{ij}$. For $1 \leq j \leq n$, consider $Y_{j}^{(1)} = \max_{i} ...

Is there a simple argument for why a random symmetric matrix has distinct eigenvalues?

Lets generate a random symmetric matrix $A$ by generating the entries of a random matrix $Z$ iid from some continuous distribution, and setting $A=(1/2)(Z+Z^T)$. I think its true that $A$ should have ...
