Error Bound for Compound Wishart Matrices

Abstract

In this paper we consider non-asymptotic behavior of the real compound Wishart matrices that generalize the classical real Wishart distribution. In particular, we consider matrices of the form 1/nXBX', where X consists of real centered Gaussian elements and B is an arbitrary real matrix and sequences of such matrices for varying n. We show how the expectation of deviations from the mean can be bounded for compound Wishart matrices.
