Abstract

Professor C.R.Rao’s Linear Statistical Inference is a classic that has motivated several generations of statisticians in their pursuit of theoretical research. This paper looks into some of the fundamental problems associated with linear models, but in a scenario where the dimensionality of the observations is comparable to the sample size. This perspective, largely driven by contemporary advancements in random matrix theory, brings new insights and results that can be helpful even for solving relatively low-dimensional problems. This overview also brings into focus the fundamental roles played by the eigenvalues of large covariance-type matrices in the theory of high-dimensional multivariate statistics.
