We analyze the asymptotic fluctuations of the largest rescaled eigenvalue of Q when both M and N tend to infinity with N/M →d ϵ (0,∞). For a large class of populations σ in the sub-critical regime, we show that the distribution of the largest rescaled eigenvalue of Q is given by the type-1 Tracy-Widom distribution under the additional assumptions that (1) either the entries of X are i.i.d. Gaussians or (2) that σ is diagonal and that the entries of X have a sub-exponential decay.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":26,"_id":"1157","scopus_import":1,"oa":1,"publication":"Annals of Applied Probability","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published"}
