Researchers have precisely defined the behavior of Tyler's M-estimator (TME) at a critical boundary in robust subspace recovery. This work establishes a sharp phase transition, proving TME converges to the true subspace when the dimension-scaled signal-to-noise ratio (DS-SNR) is greater than or equal to 1. The analysis, which uses a majorization-minimization framework, introduces a new stability condition that is less restrictive than previous assumptions. AI
