Covariance Selection by Thresholding the Sample Correlation Matrix
This article shows that when the nonzero coefficients of the population correlation matrix are all greater in absolute value than (C1 log p/n) 1/2 for some constant C1, we can obtain covariance selection consistency by thresholding the sample correlation matrix. Furthermore, the rate (log p/n) is shown to be optimal.
متن کاملHoney, I Shrunk the Sample Covariance Matrix
The central message of this paper is that nobody should be using the sample covariance matrix for the purpose of portfolio optimization. It contains estimation error of the kind most likely to perturb a mean-variance optimizer. In its place, we suggest using the matrix obtained from the sample covariance matrix through a transformation called shrinkage. This tends to pull the most extreme coeff...
متن کاملDistribution of the Sample Correlation Matrix and Applications
For the case where the multivariate normal population does not have null correlations, we give the exact expression of the distribution of the sample matrix of correlations R, with the sample variances acting as parameters. Also, the distribution of its determinant is established in terms of Meijer G-functions in the null-correlation case. Several numerical examples are given, and applications ...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
15 صفحه اولTest for Exponentiality Based on the Sample Covariance
This paper proposes a simple goodness-of-fit test based on the sample covariance. It is shown that this test is preferable for alternatives of increasing and unimodal failure rate. Critical values for various sample sizes are determined by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We compare the test based on the sample covariance with tests based on Hoeffding's maximum correlation. The usefulness o...
