Sub-Gaussian estimators of the mean of a random matrix with heavy-tailed entries
重尾元素随机矩阵均值的次高斯估计
Estimation of the covariance matrix has attracted a lot of attention of the statistical research community over the years, partially due to important applications such as principal component analysis. However, frequently used empirical covariance estimator, and its modifications, is very sensitive to the presence of outliers in the data. As P. Huber wrote [Ann. Math. Stat. 35 (1964) 73–101], “…This raises a question which could have been asked already by Gauss, but which…
