Improving the sample covariance matrix for a complex elliptically contoured distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the problem of estimating the scale matrix in a complex elliptically contoured distribution(complex ECD) is addressed. An extended Haff-Stein identity for this model is derived. It is shown that the minimax estimators of the covariance matrix obtained under the complex normal model remain robust under the complex ECD model when the Stein loss function is employed.

متن کاملCOMMENTS on “MINIMAX ESTIMATION OF LARGE COVARIANCE MATRICES UNDER l1-NORM”
Professors Cai and Zhou are to be congratulated for making yet another important contribution to the development of theory and methodology for highdimensional covariance matrix estimation. In this article, hereafter referred to as CZ, they considered large covariance matrix estimation under the matrix l1 loss for both sparse and bandable covariance matrices. As is common in the current literatu...
متن کاملOn convergence of sample and population Hilbertian functional principal components
In this article we consider the sequences of sample and population covariance operators for a sequence of arrays of Hilbertian random elements. Then under the assumptions that sequences of the covariance operators norm are uniformly bounded and the sequences of the principal component scores are uniformly sumable, we prove that the convergence of the sequences of covariance operators would impl...
متن کاملThe Predictive Distribution for the Heteroscedastic Multivariate Linear Models with Elliptically Contoured Error Distributions
This paper considers the heteroscedastic multivariate linear model with errors following elliptically contoured distributions. The marginal likelihood function of the unknown covariance parameters and the predictive distribution of future responses have been derived. The predictive distribution obtained is a product of m multivariate Student’s t distributions. It is interesting to note that whe...
متن کاملEstimating the Inverse Matrix of Scale Parameters in an Elliptically Contoured Distribution
The problem of estimating the inverse matrix of scale parameters of an elliptically contoured distribution is considered with respect to Stein’s loss function. It is shown that improvement of the estimators obtained under the normality assumption remains robust under an elliptically contoured distribution. A numerical study is also conducted to evaluate the risk performances of the improved est...
