Limit Law for the Maximum Interpoint Distance of High Dimensional Dependent Variables

Abstract

In this paper, we considier the limiting distribution of the maximum interpoint Euclidean distance Mn=max1i<jnXiXjM_n=\max _{1 \leq i<j \leq n}\left\|\boldsymbol{X}_i-\boldsymbol{X}_j\right\|, where X1,X2,,Xn\boldsymbol{X}_1, \boldsymbol{X}_2, \ldots, \boldsymbol{X}_n be a random sample coming from a pp-dimensional population with dependent sub-gaussian components. When the dimension tends to infinity with the sample size, we proves that Mn2M_n^2 under a suitable normalization asymptotically obeys a Gumbel type distribution. The proofs mainly depend on the Stein-Chen Poisson approximation method and high dimensional Gaussian approximation.
