Nov 21, 2015 at 9:24	comment	added	Carlo Beenakker		I would be surprised if the marginal distribution of a few of the elements of an eigenvector would be much different from independent Gaussians; have you tried generating some random matrices and testing for this?
Nov 21, 2015 at 8:42	comment	added	Zedong Bi		@Douglas Yes, that is what I mean.
Nov 20, 2015 at 12:55	comment	added	Douglas Zare		The picture is misleading. It shows the locations of eigenvalues, but the question is about something about the eigenvectors. The $\{1,1,...,1\}$ is an approximation. Are you normalizing the eigenvectors, and then do you want to know the distribution of each coordinate?
