当p大于n时协方差未知的多元正态均值估计的改进

Improved multivariate normal mean estimation with unknown covariance when p is greater than n

Didier Chételat, Martin T. Wells

摘要:

本文研究了当协方差未知时,在不变二次损失$(δ-θ)'Σ^{-1}(δ-θ)$下,p-变量正态$(θ,Σ)$分布的均值向量的估计问题.我们提出了一类新的估计,占主导地位的通常估计$δ^0(X)=X$。所提出的$θ$的估计依赖于X和一个独立的n自由度Wishart矩阵S,但当p>n时,S几乎必然是奇异的.控制的证明涉及到对p>n的情形发展一些新的风险无偏估计。我们还发现了控制量与n和p的大小之间的一些关系。

英文摘要:

We consider the problem of estimating the mean vector of a p-variate normal $(θ,Σ)$ distribution under invariant quadratic loss, $(δ-θ)'Σ^{-1}(δ-θ)$, when the covariance is unknown. We propose a new class of estimators that dominate the usual estimator $δ^0(X)=X$. The proposed estimators of $θ$ depend upon X and an independent Wishart matrix S with n degrees of freedom, however, S is singular almost surely when p>n. The proof of domination involves the development of some new unbiased estimators of risk for the p>n setting. We also find some relationships between the amount of domination and the magnitudes of n and p.
