A data driven equivariant approach to constrained Gaussian mixture modeling

open access: yes, 2016
Maximum likelihood estimation of Gaussian mixture models with different class-specific covariance matrices is known to be problematic. This is due to the unboundedness of the likelihood, together with the presence of spurious maximizers. Existing methods

Two sample tests for high-dimensional covariance matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We propose two tests for the equality of covariance matrices between two high-dimensional populations. One test is on the whole variance--covariance matrices, and the other is on off-diagonal sub-matrices, which define the covariance between two ...

Proportionality of Covariance Matrices

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1987
S\({}_ 0,S_ 1,...,S_ k\) are mutually independent p by p matrices, \(S_ i\) having a Wishart distribution with \(n_ i\) degrees of freedom and expectation \(\Sigma_ i\). The likelihood ratio test of the hypothesis \(\Sigma_ i=\lambda_ i\Sigma_ 0\) for \(i=1,...,k\) is developed.

bspcov: An R Package for Bayesian sparse covariance matrix estimation

open access: yesSoftwareX
The bspcov R package provides a Bayesian inference for covariance matrices. The bspcov is developed to aid in research that involves estimating constrained covariance matrices by enabling the use of state-of-the-art Bayesian inference methods.

Penalized maximum likelihood for multivariate Gaussian mixture

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper, we first consider the parameter estimation of a multivariate random process distribution using multivariate Gaussian mixture law. The labels of the mixture are allowed to have a general probability law which gives the possibility to ...

Covariance Estimation in High Dimensions via Kronecker Product Expansions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper presents a new method for estimating high dimensional covariance matrices. The method, permuted rank-penalized least-squares (PRLS), is based on a Kronecker product series expansion of the true covariance matrix. Assuming an i.i.d.

Universality of covariance matrices

open access: yesThe Annals of Applied Probability, 2014
In this paper we prove the universality of covariance matrices of the form $H_{N\times N}={X}^{\dagger}X$ where $X$ is an ${M\times N}$ rectangular matrix with independent real valued entries $x_{ij}$ satisfying $\mathbb{E}x_{ij}=0$ and $\mathbb{E}x^2_{ij}={\frac{1}{M}}$, $N$, $M\to \infty$.

Covariance Matrices under Bell-like Detections [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Systems & Information Dynamics, 2013
We derive a simple formula for the transformation of an arbitrary covariance matrix of (n + 2) bosonic modes under general Bell-like detections, where the last two modes are combined in an arbitrary beam splitter (i.e., with arbitrary transmissivity) and then homodyned.

Normal‐Appearing White Matter Injury Mediates Chronic Deep Venous Hypoxia and Disease Progression in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore how cerebral hypoxia and Normal‐Appearing White Matter (NAWM) integrity affect MS lesion burden and clinical course. Methods Seventy‐nine MS patients, including 13 clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) patients and 66 relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients, and 44 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited from ...

Research Article Comparing covariance matrices: random skewers method compared to the common principal components model

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
Comparisons of covariance patterns are becoming more common as interest in the evolution of relationships between traits and in the evolutionary phenotypic diversification of clades have grown. We present parallel analyses of covariance matrix similarity
