contents Consider large signal-plus-noise data matrices of the form $S + Σ^{1/2} X$, where $S$ is a low-rank deterministic signal matrix and the noise covariance matrix $Σ$ can be anisotropic. We establish the asymptotic joint distribution of its spiked singular values when the dimensionality and sample size are comparably large and the signals are supercritical under general assumptions concerning the structure of $(S, Σ)$ and the distribution of the random noise $X$. It turns out that the asymptotic distributions exhibit nonuniversality in the sense of dependence on the distributions of the entries of $X$, which contrasts with what has previously been established for the spiked sample eigenvalues in the context of spiked population models. Such a result yields the asymptotic distribution of the sample spiked eigenvalues associated with mixture models. We also explore the application of these findings in detecting mean heterogeneity of data matrices.
