Mar 12, 2020 at 15:52 comment added ofer zeitouni The matrix $\sqrt{R} YY^* \sqrt{R}$ has the same spectrum as $Y^*RY$, so no difference between the two as far as spectrum is concerned. More to the point, in your notation $Y$ is $p\times n$ dimensional, so $YRY^*$ makes no sense at all. My answer of course should have $Y^* RY$. Corrected now.
Mar 11, 2020 at 22:01 comment added Learning math @oferzeitouni Sorry I meant: if we take $X:= \sqrt {R} Y,$ of dimension $p \times n,$ then the sample covariance is $1/p XX^{*}= 1/p \sqrt R YY^{*} \sqrt R, $ (dim = $p \times p$) and the Gram matrix (dual covriance) is: $1/n X^{*}X = 1/n Y^{*}R Y$ (dim = $n \times n$). Here, $p=$ no if features, and $n =$ no of samples. None of these two are proportional to $YRY^{*}$, so I'm just checking with you regarding the symbols. I know it's a minor difference, but as a newbie to RMT, it'd still be helpful for me. Thanks in advance!
Mar 11, 2020 at 18:42 comment added ofer zeitouni I can't decipher your message, sorry. Y^*Y=1/n Y^*RY??
Mar 11, 2020 at 16:06 comment added Learning math Sorry I wrote $Y*$, but I really meant $Y^{*}$, the adjoint of $Y$.
Mar 11, 2020 at 15:50 comment added Learning math Hello and thanks for your answer! I've a very rudilentary follow-up question if it's ok. Since $x_i = \sqrt{R}y_i, R \mathbb{R}^{p \times p} $, then the data matrix is: $X:=[x_1 \dots x_n] \mathbb{R}^{p \times n}$. So if I take the sample cov $1/p XX* = 1/p \sqrt R YY* \sqrt R.$, an dif I take the Gram (or dual covariance) matrix, then $Y*Y = 1/n Y*RY$. Since I'm very new to this area, I'm just checking with you to see if I got this right. I'll read the paper you mentioned.
