Non-parametric shrinkage mean estimation for quadratic loss functions with unknown covariance matrices
In this paper, a shrinkage estimator for the population mean is proposed under known quadratic loss functions with unknown covariance matrices. The new estimator is nonparametric in the sense that it does not assume a specific parametric distribution for the data and it does not require the prior information on the population covariancematrix. Analytical results on the improvement of the propos...
متن کاملEstimation under unknown correlation: covariance intersection revisited
This paper addresses the problem of obtaining a consistent estimate (or upper bound) of the covariance matrix when combining two quantities with unknown correlation. The combination is defined linearly with two gains. When the gains are chosen a priori, a family of consistent estimates is presented in the paper. The member in this family having minimal trace is said to be “family-optimal”. When...
متن کاملShrinkage Preliminary Test Estimation under a Precautionary Loss Function with Applications on Records and Censored Ddata
Shrinkage preliminary test estimation in exponential distribution under a precautionary loss function is considered. The minimum risk-unbiased estimator is derived and some shrinkage preliminary test estimators are proposed. We apply our results on censored data and records. The relative efficiencies of proposed estimators with respect to the minimum ‎risk-unbiased‎&...
متن کاملNon-linear shrinkage estimation of large-scale structure covariance
In many astrophysical settings, covariance matrices of large data sets have to be determined empirically from a finite number of mock realizations. The resulting noise degrades inference and precludes it completely if there are fewer realizations than data points. This work applies a recently proposed non-linear shrinkage estimator of covariance to a realistic example from large-scale structure...
متن کاملHeteroskedasticity-Autocorrelation Robust Covariance Estimation Under Non-stationary Covariance Processes
The need to estimate variance-covariance matrix in a time series regression arises often in economic applications involving macroeconomic or finance data. In this paper, we study the behavior of two most popular covariance matrix estimators, namely the Kiefer, Vogelsang and Bunzel kernel estimator without truncation (Kiefer, Vogelsang and Bunzel 2000, KVB thereafter) and standard consistent ker...
