Global Testing and Large-Scale Multiple Testing for High-Dimensional Covariance Structures
Driven by a wide range of contemporary applications, statistical inference for covariance structures has been an active area of current research in high-dimensional statistics. This paper provides a selective survey of some recent developments in hypothesis testing for high-dimensional covariance structures, including global testing for the overall pattern of the covariance structures and simul...
متن کاملBootstrap Methods for Covariance Structures
The optimal minimum distance (OMD) estimator for models of covariance structures is asymptotically efficient but has much worse finite-sample properties than does the equally-weighted minimum distance (EWMD) estimator. This paper shows how the bootstrap can be used to improve the finite-sample performance of the OMD estimator. The theory underlying the bootstrap's ability to reduce the bias of ...
متن کاملA Markov Property for Covariance Structures
The problem of formulating covariance structures between two random variables or random vectors arises in many elds. One way to specify a covariance structure for a set of random variables deened at each point on a product space is by a Kronecker product form. Then the speciication requires only a covariance structure on each of the component spaces. This note proves that a simple Markov-like a...
متن کاملCovariance Structures for Quantitative Genetic Analyses
INTRODUCTION Covariance matrices in quantitative genetic analyses have, by and large, been considered ‘unstructured’, i.e. for q random variables, there are q(q + 1)/2 distinct covariance components. This implies that the number of parameters to be estimated increases quadratically with the number of variables. Multivariate analyses involving more than a few traits have been hampered by computa...
متن کاملGeneralizing Analytic Shrinkage for Arbitrary Covariance Structures
Analytic shrinkage is a statistical technique that offers a fast alternative to crossvalidation for the regularization of covariance matrices and has appealing consistency properties. We show that the proof of consistency requires bounds on the growth rates of eigenvalues and their dispersion, which are often violated in data. We prove consistency under assumptions which do not restrict the cov...
