Measuring Cause-Effect with the Variability of the Largest Eigenvalue
We present a method to test and monitor structural relationships between time variables. The distribution of the first eigenvalue for lagged correlation matrices (Tracy-Widom distribution) is used to test structural time relationships between variables against the alternative hypothesis (Independence). This distribution studies the asymptotic dynamics of the largest eigenvalue as a function of the lag in lagged correlation matrices. By analyzing the time series of the standard deviation of the greatest eigenvalue for $2\times 2$ correlation matrices with different lags we can analyze deviations from the Tracy-Widom distribution to test structural relationships between these two time variables. These relationships can be related to causality. We use the standard deviation of the explanatory power of the first eigenvalue at different lags as a proxy for testing and monitoring structural causal relationships. The method is applied to analyse causal dependencies between daily monetary flows in a retail brokerage business allowing to control for liquidity risks.

Market correlation structure changes around the Great Crash
We perform a comparative analysis of the Chinese stock market around the occurrence of the 2008 crisis based on the random matrix analysis of high-frequency stock returns of 1228 stocks listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhe…
SpectralGap: Graph-Level Out-of-Distribution Detection via Laplacian Eigenvalue Gaps
The task of graph-level out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for deploying graph neural networks in real-world settings. In this paper, we observe a significant difference in the relationship between the larges…

We derive the limiting distribution for the largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix for a stochastic blockmodel graph when the number of vertices tends to infinity. We show that, in the limit, these eigenvalues are j…
Correlation structure analysis of the global agricultural futures market
This paper adopts the random matrix theory (RMT) to analyze the correlation structure of the global agricultural futures market from 2000 to 2020. It is found that the distribution of correlation coefficients is asymmetr…
Largest Eigenvalues of the Conjugate Kernel of Single-Layered Neural Networks
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic distribution of the largest eigenvalues for some nonlinear random matrix ensemble stemming from the study of neural networks. More precisely we consider $M= \frac{1}{m} YY^\top…
