Shrinkage Estimation of the Power Spectrum Covariance Matrix
We introduce a novel statistical technique, shrinkage estimation, to estimate the power spectrum covariance matrix from a limited number of simulations. We optimally combine an empirical estimate of the covariance with a model (the target) to minimize the total mean squared error compared to the true underlying covariance. We test our technique on N-body simulations and evaluate its performance...
متن کاملPower Spectrum Super-Sample Covariance
We provide a simple, unified approach to describing the impact of super-sample covariance on power spectrum estimation in a finite-volume survey. For a wide range of survey volumes, the sample variance that arises from modes that are larger than the survey dominates the covariance of power spectrum estimators for modes much smaller than the survey. The perturbative and deeply nonlinear versions...
متن کاملTesting the structure of the covariance matrix with fewer observations than the dimension
We consider two hypothesis testing problems with N independent observations on a single m-vector, when m > N , and the N observations on the random m-vector are independently and identically distributed as multivariate normal with mean vector μ and covariance matrix Σ, both unknown. In the first problem, the m-vector is partitioned into two subvectors of dimensions m1 and m2, respectively, and ...
متن کاملCovariance-Based OFDM Spectrum Sensing with Sub-Nyquist Samples
In this paper, we propose a feature-based method for spectrum sensing of OFDM signals from sub-Nyquist samples over a single band. We exploit the structure of the covariance matrix of OFDM signals to convert an underdetermined set of covariance-based equations to an overdetermined one. The statistical properties of sample covariance matrix are analyzed and then based on that an approximate Gene...
متن کاملSome tests for the covariance matrix with fewer observations than the dimension under non-normality
This article analyzes whether the existing tests for the p× p covariance matrix Σ of the N independent identically distributed observation vectors with N ≤ p work under non-normality. We focus on three hypotheses testing problems: (1) testing for sphericity, that is, the covariance matrix Σ is proportional to an identity matrix Ip; (2) the covariance matrix Σ is an identity matrix Ip; and (3) t...
