Detection of weak signals in high-dimensional complex-valued data

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper considers the problem of detecting a few signals in high-dimensional complex-valued Gaussian data satisfying Johnstone's (2001) extit{spiked covariance model}. We focus on the difficult case where signals are weak in the sense that the sizes of the corresponding covariance spikes are below the extit{phase transition threshold} studied in Baik et al (2005). We derive a simple analytical expression for the maximal possible asymptotic probability of correct detection holding the asymptotic probability of false detection fixed. To accomplish this derivation, we establish what we believe to be a new formula for the extit{% Harish-Chandra/Itzykson-Zuber (HCIZ) integral} intmathcalU(p)er(AGBG−1)dG, where A has a deficient rank r<p. The formula links the HCIZ integral over mathcalU(p) to an HCIZ integral over a potentially much smaller unitary group mathcalU(r). We show that the formula generalizes to the integrals over orthogonal and symplectic groups. In the most general form, it expresses the hypergeometric function 0F0(alpha)of two pimesp matrix arguments as a repeated contour integral of the hypergeometric function 0F0(alpha)of two rimesr matrix arguments.
