Operator norm consistent estimation of large dimensional sparse covariance matrices
Estimating covariance matrices is a problem of fundamental importance in multivariate statistics. In practice it is increasingly frequent to work with data matrices X of dimension n × p, where p and n are both large. Results from random matrix theory show very clearly that in this setting, standard estimators like the sample covariance matrix perform in general very poorly. In this “large n, la...

متن کاملMinimax Estimation of Large Covariance Matrices under l1-Norm
Driven by a wide range of applications in high-dimensional data analysis, there has been significant recent interest in the estimation of large covariance matrices. In this paper, we consider optimal estimation of a covariance matrix as well as its inverse over several commonly used parameter spaces under the matrix l1 norm. Both minimax lower and upper bounds are derived. The lower bounds are ...
متن کاملEstimation of Functionals of Sparse Covariance Matrices.
High-dimensional statistical tests often ignore correlations to gain simplicity and stability leading to null distributions that depend on functionals of correlation matrices such as their Frobenius norm and other ℓ r norms. Motivated by the computation of critical values of such tests, we investigate the difficulty of estimation the functionals of sparse correlation matrices. Specifically, we ...
متن کاملEstimation of Large Covariance Matrices
This paper considers estimating a covariance matrix of p variables from n observations by either banding or tapering the sample covariance matrix, or estimating a banded version of the inverse of the covariance. We show that these estimates are consistent in the operator norm as long as (logp)/n→ 0, and obtain explicit rates. The results are uniform over some fairly natural well-conditioned fam...
