FIXED-SIZE CONFIDENCE REGION BY MULTIVARIATE TWO-STAGE PROCEDURE WHEN THE COVARIANCE MATRIX HAS A STRUCTURE

COVARIANCE MATRIX OF MULTIVARIATE REWARD PROCESSES WITH NONLINEAR REWARD FUNCTIONS

Multivariate reward processes with reward functions of constant rates, defined on a semi-Markov process, first were studied by Masuda and Sumita, 1991. Reward processes with nonlinear reward functions were introduced in Soltani, 1996. In this work we study a multivariate process , , where are reward processes with nonlinear reward functions respectively. The Laplace transform of the covar...

SOLVING FUZZY LINEAR SYSTEMS BY USING THE SCHUR COMPLEMENT WHEN COEFFICIENT MATRIX IS AN M-MATRIX

This paper analyzes a linear system of equations when the righthandside is a fuzzy vector and the coefficient matrix is a crisp M-matrix. Thefuzzy linear system (FLS) is converted to the equivalent crisp system withcoefficient matrix of dimension 2n × 2n. However, solving this crisp system isdifficult for large n because of dimensionality problems . It is shown that thisdifficulty may be avoide...

Estimation of Covariance Matrix in Signal Processing When the Noise Covariance Matrix is Arbitrary

Some Hypothesis Tests for the Covariance Matrix When the Dimension Is Large Compared to the Sample Size by Olivier Ledoit

This paper analyzes whether standard covariance matrix tests work when dimensionality is large, and in particular larger than sample size. In the latter case, the singularity of the sample covariance matrix makes likelihood ratio tests degenerate, but other tests based on quadratic forms of sample covariance matrix eigenvalues remain well-defined. We study the consistency property and limiting ...

Two-stage Procedure in P-Order Autoregressive Process

In this paper, the two-stage procedure is considered for autoregressive parameters estimation in the p-order autoregressive model ( AR(p)). The point estimation and fixed-size confidence ellipsoids construction are investigated which are based on least-squares estimators. Performance criteria are shown including asymptotically risk efficient, asymptotically efficient, and asymptotically consist...
