| contents | In random matrix theory, the spectral distribution of the covariance matrix has been well studied under the large dimensional asymptotic regime when the dimensionality and the sample size tend to infinity at the same rate. However, most existing theories are built upon the assumption of independent and identically distributed samples, which may be violated in practice. For example, the observational data of continuous-time processes at discrete time points, namely, the high-frequency data. In this paper, we extend the classical spectral analysis for the covariance matrix in large dimensional random matrix to the spot volatility matrix by using the high-frequency data. We establish the first-order limiting spectral distribution and obtain a second-order result, that is, the central limit theorem for linear spectral statistics. Moreover, we apply the results to design some feasible tests for the spot volatility matrix, including the identity and sphericity tests. Simulation studies justify the finite sample performance of the test statistics and verify our established theory. |
