Large Covariance Estimation by Thresholding Principal Orthogonal Complements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper deals with the estimation of a high-dimensional covariance with a conditional sparsity structure and fast-diverging eigenvalues. By assuming sparse error covariance matrix in an approximate factor model, we allow for the presence of some cross-

Robustness of analysis of covariance (ancova) under the distributions assumptions and variance homogeneity [PDF]

open access: yesEurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2020
Aim: As in all parametric methods, the ANCOVA method assumes that normal distributions of errors, homogeneity of variances, and error terms are independent of each other. However, unusual distributions in practice are more common than normal distribution.

Performance of internal Covariance Estimators for Cosmic Shear Correlation Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Data re-sampling methods such as the delete-one jackknife are a common tool for estimating the covariance of large scale structure probes. In this paper we investigate the concepts of internal covariance estimation in the context of cosmic shear two ...

Implementing Quantitative Literacy at Southwestern Community College, North Carolina

open access: yesNumeracy, 2015
There is a time when articulation agreements between universities and community colleges come to an end. When this happened in North Carolina, there was great hope that not only would the mathematics classes that were offered in the North Carolina ...

Optimal Estimation and Rank Detection for Sparse Spiked Covariance Matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper considers sparse spiked covariance matrix models in the high-dimensional setting and studies the minimax estimation of the covariance matrix and the principal subspace as well as the minimax rank detection.
