On the behaviour of large empirical autocovariance matrices between the past and the future

Abstract

The asymptotic behaviour of the distribution of the squared singular values of the sample autocovariance matrix between the past and the future of a high-dimensional complex Gaussian uncorrelated sequence is studied. Using Gaussian tools, it is established the distribution behaves as a deterministic probability measure whose support S is characterized. It is also established that the singular values to the square are almost surely located in a neighbourhood of S.
