Condition-Number-Regularized Covariance Estimation
基于条件数正则化的协方差估计
Summary Estimation of high dimensional covariance matrices is known to be a difficult problem, has many applications and is of current interest to the larger statistics community. In many applications including the so-called ‘large p, small n’ setting, the estimate of the covariance matrix is required to be not only invertible but also well conditioned. Although many regularization schemes attempt to do this, none of them address the ill conditioning problem directly. We…
