Distinctness of the Eigenvalues of a Quadratic form in a Multivariate Sample
Open accessAbstract
This paper shows that a quadratic form in a multivariate sample has a certain rank and its nonzero eigenvalues are distinct with probability one under the assumption that the matrix defining the quadratic form satisfies a certain rank condition and that the underlying distribution of the sample is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
