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 کاملCovariance Regularization by Thresholding
This paper considers regularizing a covariance matrix of p variables estimated from n observations, by hard thresholding. We show that the thresholded estimate is consistent in the operator norm as long as the true covariance matrix is sparse in a suitable sense, the variables are Gaussian or sub-Gaussian, and (log p)/n→ 0, and obtain explicit rates. The results are uniform over families of cov...
متن کاملAdaptive Covariance Matrix Estimation through Block Thresholding
Estimation of large covariance matrices has drawn considerable recent attention, and the theoretical focus so far has mainly been on developing a minimax theory over a fixed parameter space. In this paper, we consider adaptive covariance matrix estimation where the goal is to construct a single procedure which is minimax rate optimal simultaneously over each parameter space in a large collectio...
متن کاملAdaptive Thresholding for Sparse Covariance Matrix Estimation
In this article we consider estimation of sparse covariance matrices and propose a thresholding procedure that is adaptive to the variability of individual entries. The estimators are fully data-driven and demonstrate excellent performance both theoretically and numerically. It is shown that the estimators adaptively achieve the optimal rate of convergence over a large class of sparse covarianc...
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...
