Estimating the Inverse Matrix of Scale Parameters in an Elliptically Contoured Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 estimators.

Improving the sample covariance matrix for a complex elliptically contoured distribution
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 کاملOn Mathematical Characteristics of some Improved Estimators of the Mean and Variance Components in Elliptically Contoured Models
In this paper we treat a general form of location model. It is typically assumed that the error term is distributed according to the law belonging to the class of elliptically contoured distribution. Some sorts of shrinkage estimators of location and scale parameters are proposed and their exact bias and MSE expressions are derived. The performance of the estimators under study are compl...

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 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...
