Tests for Large-Dimensional Shape Matrices via Tyler’s M Estimators
基于Tyler M估计量的大维形状矩阵检验
Tyler's M estimator, as a robust alternative to the sample covariance matrix, has been widely applied in robust statistics. However, classical theory on Tyler's M estimator is mainly developed in the low-dimensional regime for elliptical populations. It remains largely unknown when the parameter of dimension p grows proportionally to the sample size n for general populations. By utilizing the eigenvalues of Tyler's M estimator, this article develops tests for the identity…
