Proportionality of Covariance Matrices
协方差矩阵的比例关系
The present paper considers inference for the statistical model specifying proportionality between independent Wishart distributions. It is shown that the maximum likelihood estimate of the common covariance matrix and the constants of proportionality is the unique solution to the likelihood equation and an iterative procedure determining the estimator is given. The model is an exponential transformation model, which implies the existence of an exact ancillary (a maximal…
