title: A NOTE ON A LOWER BOUND TO THE LARGEST EIGENVALUE OF A COVARIANCE OR CORRELATION MATRIX.
abstract: Lower-bound estimates for the largest eigenvalues of covariance or correlation matrices are derived and evaluated. It is shown that among a restricted class of estimators for the largest eigenvalues, the proposed estimates are the weakest lower bounds.
