Estimating the covariance of random matrices

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We extend to the matrix setting a recent result of Srivastava-Vershynin about estimating the covariance matrix of a random vector. The result can be in- terpreted as a quantified version of the law of large numbers for positive semi-definite matrices which verify some regularity assumption. Beside giving examples, we dis- cuss the notion of log-concave matrices and give estimates on the smallest and largest eigenvalues of a sum of such matrices.
