Abstract
We consider the five classes of multivariate statistical problems identified
by James (1964), which together cover much of classical multivariate analysis,
plus a simpler limiting case, symmetric matrix denoising. Each of James'
problems involves the eigenvalues of $E^{-1}H$ where $H$ and $E$ are
proportional to high dimensional Wishart matrices. Under the null hypothesis,
both Wisharts are central with identity covariance. Under the alternative, the
non-centrality or the covariance parameter of $H$ has a single eigenvalue, a
spike, that stands alone. When the spike is smaller than a case-specific phase
transition threshold, none of the sample eigenvalues separate from the bulk,
making the testing problem challenging. Using a unified strategy for the six
cases, we show that the log likelihood ratio processes parameterized by the
value of the sub-critical spike converge to Gaussian processes with logarithmic
correlation. We then derive asymptotic power envelopes for tests for the
presence of a spike.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
