Inference for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Gaussian symmetric matrices
高斯对称矩阵特征值与特征向量的推断
This article presents maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and log-likelihood ratio (LLR) tests for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Gaussian random symmetric matrices of arbitrary dimension, where the observations are independent repeated samples from one or two populations. These inference problems are relevant in the analysis of diffusion tensor imaging data and polarized cosmic background radiation data, where the observations are, respectively, 3×3 and 2×2 symmetric…
