The coherence of a random matrix, which is defined to be the largest magnitude of the Pearson correlation coefficients between the columns of the random matrix, is an important quantity for a wide range of applications including high-dimensional statistics and signal processing. Inspired by these applications, this paper studies the limiting laws of the coherence of n x p random matrices for a full range of the dimension p with a special focus on the ultra high-dimensional setting. Assuming the columns of the random matrix are independent random vectors with a common spherical distribution, we give a complete characterization of the behavior of the limiting distributions of the coherence. More specifically, the limiting distributions of the coherence are derived separately for three regimes: 1/n log p -> 0, log p -> beta is an element of (0, infinity), and 1/n log p -> infinity. The results show that the limiting behavior of the coherence differs significantly in different regimes and exhibits interesting phase transition phenomena as the dimension p grows as a function of n. Applications to statistics and compressed sensing in the ultra high-dimensional setting are also discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
