Improved Shrinkage Estimators of Covariance Matrices With Toeplitz-Structured Targets in Small Sample Scenarios

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Shrinkage regularization is an effective strategy to estimate the covariance matrix of multi-variate random vector in small sample scenarios. The purpose of this paper is to propose improved linear shrinkage estimators of covariance matrix as two types ...

Regularized estimation of large-scale gene association networks using graphical Gaussian models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Graphical Gaussian models are popular tools for the estimation of (undirected) gene association networks from microarray data. A key issue when the number of variables greatly exceeds the number of samples is the estimation of the matrix of partial ...

Wavelet shrinkage estimators of Hilbert transform

open access: yesJournal of Approximation Theory, 2011
Wavelet shrinkage is a nonlinear approximation strategy and is widely used in many applications. Based on wavelet shrinkage estimators of the original function \(f\), this paper constructs an estimator of its Hilbert transform \(Hf\) and then establishes the almost everywhere convergence and norm convergence of the proposed estimators.

Portfolio risk measurement: the estimation of the covariance of stock returns [PDF]

open access: yes
A covariance matrix of asset returns plays an important role in modern portfolio analysis and risk management. Despite the recent interests in improving the estimation of a return covariance matrix, there remain many areas for further investigation. This

Shrinkage Based Tests of the Martingale Difference Hypothesis [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we define a family of tests for the Martingale Difference Hypothesis (MDH) based upon a shrinkage principle. Tests within this family are such that rejection of the null implies that forecasts from the alternative model, adjusted by a ...

Prediction of Plastic Shrinkage Cracking of Self-Compacting Concrete

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
Concrete exposed to hot climatic conditions is prone to plastic shrinkage after casting within the first few hours due to the water evaporation and restraining conditions of concrete.

Integrating Wavelet Shrinkage with SURE and Minimax Thresholding to Enhance Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Gamma-Distributed Data

open access: yesالمجلة العراقية للعلوم الاحصائية
This paper uses the Maximum Likelihood Estimation method to investigate the impact of data contamination on the accuracy of parameter estimation for the Gamma distribution. A de-noising approach based on wavelet shrinkage has been proposed to address the
