Another Class of Minimax Estimators of A Variance Covariance Matrix in Multivariate Normal Distribution
It is well known that the best equivariant estimator of a variance covari-ance matrix of multivariate normal distribution with respect to the full ane group of transformation is not even minimax. Some minimax estimators have been proposed. Here we treat this problem in the framework of a multivari-ate analysis of variance(MANOVA) model and give other classes of minimax estimators.
متن کاملMore on explicit estimators for a banded covariance matrix
The problem of estimating mean and covariances of a multivariate normally distributed random vector has been studied in many forms. This paper focuses on the estimators proposed by Ohlson et al. (2011) for a banded covariance structure with m-dependence. We rewrite the estimator when m = 1, which makes it easier to analyze. This leads to an adjustment, and an unbiased estimator can be proposed....
متن کاملImproved Covariance Matrix Estimators for Weighted Analysis of Microarray Data
Empirical Bayes models have been shown to be powerful tools for identifying differentially expressed genes from gene expression microarray data. An example is the WAME model, where a global covariance matrix accounts for array-to-array correlations as well as differing variances between arrays. However, the existing method for estimating the covariance matrix is very computationally intensive a...
متن کاملRobust regularized M-estimators of regression parameters and covariance matrix
High dimension low sample size (HD-LSS) data are becoming increasingly present in a variety of fields, including chemometrics and medical imaging. Especially problems with n < p (more variables than measurements) present a challenge to data analysts since the classical techniques can not be used. In this paper, we consider HD-LSS data in regression parameter and covariance matrix estimation pro...
متن کاملAlternative HAC covariance matrix estimators with improved finite sample properties
HAC estimators are known to produce test statistics that reject too frequently in finite samples. One neglected reason comes from using the OLS residuals when constructing the HAC estimator. If the regression matrix contains high leverage points, such as from outliers, then the OLS residuals will be negatively biased. This reduces the variance of the OLS residuals and the HAC estimator takes th...
