In this paper, we study the strong convergence of empirical spectral distribution (ESD) of the large quaternion sample covariance matrices and correlation matrices when the ratio of the population dimension [Formula: see text] to sample size [Formula: see text] tends to zero. We prove that the ESD of renormalized quaternion sample covariance matrices converges almost surely to the semicircle law.

In this paper, we consider the limit properties of the largest entries of sample covariance matrices and the sample correlation matrices. In order to make the statistics based on the largest entries of the sample covariance matrices and the sample correlation matrices more applicable in high-dimensional tests, the identically distributed assumption of population is removed. Under some moment’s assumption of the underlying distribution, we obtain that the almost surely limit and asymptotical distribution of the extreme statistics as both the dimension p and sample size n tend to infinity.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the spectral properties of sample covariance matrices under a more general population. We consider a class of matrices of the form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text] nonrandom matrix and [Formula: see text] is an [Formula: see text] matrix consisting of i.i.d standard complex entries. [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text] while [Formula: see text] can be arbitrary but no smaller than [Formula: see text]. We first prove that under some mild assumptions, with probability 1, for all large [Formula: see text], there will be no eigenvalues in any closed interval contained in an open interval which is outside the supports of the limiting distributions for all sufficiently large [Formula: see text]. Then we get the strong convergence result for the extreme eigenvalues as an extension of Bai-Yin law.
