Random matrices (a very interesting video)

Complex correlated systems can be molded by random matrices. Random matrices can be characterized by eigenvalues, which have a characteristic pattern even though the components of various complex correlated systems are very different. This phenomenon is known as universality.

High-dimensional statistics

Mathematical tools from random matrix theory have found important applications in high- dimensional statistics, like testing and inference about large covariance matrix, independence testing, large-dimensional PCA and factor model, high-dimensional regression analysis, and machine learning etc..

If your data set has a large number of variables compared to available sample size, where traditional multivariate statistical methods fail and dimensional reduction is not applicable. My methods will work.
