Complex Wishart distribution
In statistics, the complex Wishart distribution is a complex version of the Wishart distribution. It is the distribution of times the sample Hermitian covariance matrix of zero-mean independent Gaussi
Tracy–Widom distribution
The Tracy–Widom distribution is a probability distribution from random matrix theory introduced by Craig Tracy and Harold Widom . It is the distribution of the normalized largest eigenvalue of a rando
Isotropic position
In the fields of machine learning, the theory of computation, and random matrix theory, a probability distribution over vectors is said to be in isotropic position if its covariance matrix is equal to
Matrix normal distribution
In statistics, the matrix normal distribution or matrix Gaussian distribution is a probability distribution that is a generalization of the multivariate normal distribution to matrix-valued random var
Matrix t-distribution
In statistics, the matrix t-distribution (or matrix variate t-distribution) is the generalization of the multivariate t-distribution from vectors to matrices. The matrix t-distribution shares the same
Wigner surmise
In mathematical physics, the Wigner surmise is a statement about the probability distribution of the spaces between points in the spectra of nuclei of heavy atoms, which have many degrees of freedom,
Circular law
In probability theory, more specifically the study of random matrices, the circular law concerns the distribution of eigenvalues of an n × n random matrix with independent and identically distributed
Water retention on random surfaces
Water retention on random surfaces is the simulation of catching of water in ponds on a surface of cells of various heights on a regular array such as a square lattice, where water is rained down on e
