The Marchenko-Pastur Law describes the asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of large random matrices, particularly those with independent and identically distributed entries. It is essential in understanding phenomena in multivariate statistics and signal processing, as it provides insights into the behavior of sample covariance matrices as their size grows infinitely large.

Asymptotic distribution refers to the probability distribution that a statistic approaches as the sample size becomes infinitely large, providing a way to make inferences about population parameters based on large samples. It is fundamental in statistical theory, particularly in deriving approximate distributions for hypothesis testing and confidence intervals when exact distributions are difficult to obtain.

Multivariate statistics involves the observation and analysis of more than one statistical outcome variable at a time. It is essential for understanding complex data structures and relationships between variables, facilitating more comprehensive insights than univariate or bivariate approaches.

Signal processing involves the analysis, manipulation, and synthesis of signals such as sound, images, and scientific measurements to improve transmission, storage, and quality. It is fundamental in various applications, including telecommunications, audio engineering, and biomedical engineering, where it enhances signal clarity and extracts useful information.
