Positive Dependence of the Roots of a Wishart Matrix
Positive Dependence of the Roots of a Wishart Matrix
It is shown that the characteristic roots of a Wishart matrix (identity covariance matrix) and the roots of $S_1 S_2^{-1}$ and $S_1(S_1 + S_2)^{-1}$ where $S_1, S_2$ are independent $p \times p$ Wishart matrices with the same covariance matrix, satisfy certain types of dependency relationships. That is, it is shown …
