Right Singular Vector Projection Graphs: Fast High Dimensional Covariance Matrix Estimation under Latent Confounding
右奇异向量投影图:潜在混杂下的快速高维协方差估计
Summary We consider the problem of estimating a high dimensional p × p covariance matrix Σ, given n observations of confounded data with covariance Σ+ΓΓT, where Γ is an unknown p × q matrix of latent factor loadings. We propose a simple and scalable estimator based on the projection onto the right singular vectors of the observed data matrix, which we call right singular vector projection (RSVP). Our theoretical analysis of this method reveals that, in contrast with…
