Estimation of Covariance Matrix
Estimation of population covariance matrices from samples of multivariate data is important. (1) Estimation of principle components and eigenvalues. (2) Construction of linear discriminant functions. (3) Establishing independence and conditional independence. (4) Setting confidence intervals on linear functions. Suppose we observed p dimensional multivariate samples X1, X2, · · · , Xn i.i.d. wi...
متن کاملdeterminant of the hankel matrix with binomial entries
abstract in this thesis at first we comput the determinant of hankel matrix with enteries a_k (x)=?_(m=0)^k??((2k+2-m)¦(k-m)) x^m ? by using a new operator, ? and by writing and solving differential equation of order two at points x=2 and x=-2 . also we show that this determinant under k-binomial transformation is invariant.
15 صفحه اولSparse Covariance Matrix Estimation With Eigenvalue Constraints.
We propose a new approach for estimating high-dimensional, positive-definite covariance matrices. Our method extends the generalized thresholding operator by adding an explicit eigenvalue constraint. The estimated covariance matrix simultaneously achieves sparsity and positive definiteness. The estimator is rate optimal in the minimax sense and we develop an efficient iterative soft-thresholdin...
متن کاملAn exact test about the covariance matrix
In the present paper, we propose an exact test on the structure of the covariance matrix. In its development the properties of the Wishart distribution are used. Unlike the classical likelihood-ratio type tests and the tests based on the empirical distance, whose statistics depend on the total variance and the generalized variance only, the proposed approach provides more information about the ...
متن کاملCOVARIANCE 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...
