A nonparametric eigenvalue-regularized integrated covariance matrix estimator for asset return data
资产收益积分协方差矩阵的非参数特征值正则化估计
In high-frequency data analysis, the extreme eigenvalues of a realized covariance matrix are biased when its dimension p is large relative to the sample size n. Furthermore, with non-synchronous trading and contamination of microstructure noise, we propose a nonparametrically eigenvalue-regularized integrated covariance matrix estimator (NERIVE) which does not assume specific structures for the underlying integrated covariance matrix. We show that NERIVE is positive definite…
