Spectra of high-dimensional Spearman correlation matrices under scale-mixture dependence

We study the asymptotic spectral properties of high-dimensional Spearman correlation matrices for scale-mixture data. We consider observations of the form $x_t=\sigma_t \xi_t \in \mathbb{R}^N,$ where the coordinates of $\xi_t$ are i.i.d.\ and the scalar mixture variable $\sigma_t$ is shared by all coordinates. Under na...
