Regularized Generalized Covariance (RGCov) Estimator
Summary This paper proposes the Regularized Generalized Covariance (RGCov) estimator, a ridge-type extension of the Generalized Covariance (GCov) estimator for high-dimensional stationary time series. By regularizing the GCov objective function, which involves the inverse of the covariance matrix, RGCov improves numerical stability while preserving positive definiteness. Under suitable conditions, the new estimator is consistent, asymptotically normal, and…
