چکیده

This paper studies the limiting behavior of Tyler’s and Maronna’s Mestimators, in the regime that the number of samples n and the dimension p both go to infinity, and p/n converges to a constant y with 0 < y < 1. We prove that when the data samples are identically and independently generated from the Gaussian distribution N(0, I), the difference between 1 n ∑n i=1 xix T i and a scaled version of Tyler’s M-estimator or Maronna’s M-estimator tends to zero in spectral norm, and the empirical spectral densities of both estimators converge to the Marčenko-Pastur distribution. We also prove that when the data samples are generated from an elliptical distribution, the limiting distribution of Tyler’s M-estimator converges to a Marčenko-Pastur-Type distribution. 1 ar X iv :1 40 1. 34 24 v3 [ m at h.

Marchenko-Pastur Law for Tyler’s and Maronna’s M-estimators

This paper studies the limiting behavior of Tyler’s and Maronna’s Mestimators, in the regime that the number of samples n and the dimension p both go to infinity, and p/n converges to a constant y with 0 < y < 1. We prove that when the data samples are identically and independently generated from the Gaussian distribution N(0, I), the difference between the sample covariance matrix and a scaled...

Marčenko-Pastur law for Kendall’s tau

We prove that Kendall’s Rank correlation matrix converges to the Marčenko Pastur law, under the assumption that observations are i.i.d random vectors X1, . . . , Xn with components that are independent and absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This is the first result on the empirical spectral distribution of a multivariate U -statistic.

On the Convergence of Maronna's M-Estimators of Scatter

In this paper, we propose an alternative proof for the uniqueness of Maronna’s M -estimator of scatter [1] for N vector observations y1, . . . ,yN ∈ R under a mild constraint of linear independence of any subset of m of these vectors. This entails in particular almost sure uniqueness for random vectors yi with a density as long as N > m. This approach allows to establish further relations that ...

DISCUSSION PAPERS IN STATISTICS AND ECONOMETRICS SEMINAR OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL STATISTICS UNIVERSITY OF COLOGNE No. 2/07 Tyler’s M-Estimator, Random Matrix Theory, and Generalized Elliptical Distributions with Applications to Finance

In recent publications standard methods of random matrix theory were applied to principal components analysis of high-dimensional financial data. We discuss the fundamental results and potential shortcomings of random matrix theory in the light of the stylized facts of empirical finance. Especially, our arguments are based on the impact of nonlinear dependencies such as tail dependence. After a...

A note on a Marčenko-Pastur type theorem for time series

In this note we develop an extension of the Marčenko-Pastur theorem to time series model with temporal correlations. The limiting spectral distribution (LSD) of the sample covariance matrix is characterised by an explicit equation for its Stieltjes transform depending on the spectral density of the time series. A numerical algorithm is then given to compute the density functions of these LSD's.
