Journal ArticleDOI
Regularized estimation of large covariance matrices
Peter J. Bickel,Elizaveta Levina +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider estimating a covariance matrix of p variables from n observations by either banding the sample covariance matrices or estimating a banded version of the inverse of the covariance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regularized estimation of large covariance matrices
Peter J. Bickel,Elizaveta Levina +1 more
TL;DR: If the population covariance is embeddable in that model and well-conditioned then the banded approximations produce consistent estimates of the eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors of the covariance matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covariance regularization by thresholding
Peter J. Bickel,Elizaveta Levina +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the thresholded estimate is consistent in the operator norm as long as the true covariance matrix is sparse in a suitable sense, the variables are Gaussian or sub-Gaussian, and (log p)/n → 0, and obtain explicit rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sparse permutation invariant covariance estimation
TL;DR: A method for constructing a sparse estimator for the inverse covariance (concentration) matrix in high-dimensional settings using a penalized normal likelihood approach and forces sparsity by using a lasso-type penalty is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covariance regularization by thresholding
Peter J. Bickel,Elizaveta Levina +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider regularizing a covariance matrix of variables estimated from observations, by hard thresholding, and show that the thresholded estimate is consistent in the operator norm as long as the true covariance matrices is sparse in a suitable sense, the variables are Gaussian or sub-Gaussian, and the parameter values are constant.
