Large Dynamic Covariance Matrices

چکیده
Second moments of asset returns are important for risk management and portfolio selection. The problem of estimating second moments can be approached from two angles: time series and the cross-section. In time series, the key is to account for conditional heteroskedasticity; a favored model is Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC), derived from the ARCH/GARCH family started by Engle (1982). In the cross-section, the key is to correct in-sample biases of sample covariance matrix eigenvalues; a favored model is nonlinear shrinkage, derived from Random Matrix Theory (RMT). The present paper marries these two strands of literature in order to deliver improved estimation of large dynamic covariance matrices.

DYNAMIC CONDITIONAL CORRELATION MODELS FOR REALIZED COVARIANCE MATRICES (Preliminary and incomplete version)
New dynamic models for realized covariance matrices are proposed. The expected value of the realized covariance matrix is specified in two steps: a model for each realized variance, and a model for the realized correlation matrix. The realized correlation model is a dynamic conditional correlation model. Estimation can be done in two steps as well, and a QML interpretation is given to each step...
متن کاملLarge Sample Covariance Matrices without Independence Structures in Columns
The limiting spectral distribution of large sample covariance matrices is derived under dependence conditions. As applications, we obtain the limiting spectral distributions of Spearman’s rank correlation matrices, sample correlation matrices, sample covariance matrices from finite populations, and sample covariance matrices from causal AR(1) models.

We studied the limiting spectral distribution of large-dimensional sample covariance matrices of a stationary and invertible VARMA(p,q) model. Relationship of the power spectral density and limiting spectral distribution of large population dimensional covariance matrices of ARMA(p,q) is established. The equation about Stieltjes transform of large-dimensional sample covariance matrices is also ...
متن کاملConcentration of the Spectral Measure of Large Wishart Matrices with Dependent Entries
We derive concentration inequalities for the spectral measure of large random matrices, allowing for certain forms of dependence. Our main focus is on empirical covariance (Wishart) matrices, but general symmetric random matrices are also considered.
متن کاملPositive-Definite 1-Penalized Estimation of Large Covariance Matrices
The thresholding covariance estimator has nice asymptotic properties for estimating sparse large covariance matrices, but it often has negative eigenvalues when used in real data analysis. To fix this drawback of thresholding estimation, we develop a positive-definite 1penalized covariance estimator for estimating sparse large covariance matrices. We derive an efficient alternating direction me...
