Given cross section household expenditure data, empirical evidence for the law of demand can be obtained by estimating such matrices. H\u00e4rdle, Hildenbrand, and Jerison used the bootstrap method to simulate the distribution of the smallest eigenvalue of random matrices and to test their positive definiteness. Here, theoretical aspects of this bootstrap test of positive definiteness are considered. The asymptotic distribution of the smallest eigenvalue <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" mime-subtype=\"gif\" mimetype=\"image\" xlink:type=\"simple\" xlink:href=\"S0266466600012809_inline1\" \/>, of the matrix estimate is obtained.
