We derive exact limiting formulas for estimation and prediction risk, which depend in a complicated manner on the eigenvalues of the population covariance, the alignment between the population PCs and the true signal, and the number of selected PCs. A key challenge in the high-dimensional setting stems from the fact that the sample covariance is an inconsistent estimate of its population counterpart, so that sample PCs may fail to fully capture potential latent low-dimensional structure in the data. We demonstrate this point through several case studies, including that of a spiked covariance model. <span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Bio: <\/strong>Alden is a Stein Fellow in the Stanford Department of Statistics, where he works on problems related to high-dimensional regression, dimensionality reduction, graph-based nonparametric estimation and hypothesis testing, and selective inference.
