大规模协方差阵的正则化LRT:单样本问题

Regularized LRT for Large Scale Covariance Matrices: One Sample Problem

Young-Geun Choi, Chi Tim Ng, Johan Lim

摘要:

本文的主要目的是对用于检验高维协方差阵的似然比检验(LRT)进行改进。最近,研究者们给出了一个高维情形($p/n$趋近于常数$γ\in (0,1]$的情形)下LRT的正确渐近分布。正确的程序被命名为校正的LRT。尽管其校正,校正的LRT是样本特征值的函数,其遭受来自高维度的冗余可变性,并且随后在区分协方差阵上的假设时仍然不具有全部功效。在本文中,一个线性收缩的协方差矩阵估计(简单收缩估计)在各种应用中的成功的动机,我们提出了一个正则化的LRT,使用,在定义LRT,收缩估计,而不是样本协方差阵。当真实的协方差阵是单位矩阵和尖峰协方差阵时,我们计算正则化LRT的渐近分布。所得到的渐近结果在检验协方差阵的各种假设中有应用。在这里,我们应用它们来测试的真实的协方差阵,这是一个长期存在的问题,在文献中的身份,并表明正则化的LRT优于校正的LRT,这是其非正则化的对应。此外,我们比较的权力,最近的非似然为基础的程序的正规化LRT。

英文摘要:

The main theme of this paper is a modification of the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing high dimensional covariance matrix. Recently, the correct asymptotic distribution of the LRT for a large-dimensional case (the case $p/n$ approaches to a constant $γ\in (0,1]$) is specified by researchers. The correct procedure is named as corrected LRT. Despite of its correction, the corrected LRT is a function of sample eigenvalues that are suffered from redundant variability from high dimensionality and, subsequently, still does not have full power in differentiating hypotheses on the covariance matrix. In this paper, motivated by the successes of a linearly shrunken covariance matrix estimator (simply shrinkage estimator) in various applications, we propose a regularized LRT that uses, in defining the LRT, the shrinkage estimator instead of the sample covariance matrix. We compute the asymptotic distribution of the regularized LRT, when the true covariance matrix is the identity matrix and a spiked covariance matrix. The obtained asymptotic results have applications in testing various hypotheses on the covariance matrix. Here, we apply them to testing the identity of the true covariance matrix, which is a long standing problem in the literature, and show that the regularized LRT outperforms the corrected LRT, which is its non-regularized counterpart. In addition, we compare the power of the regularized LRT to those of recent non-likelihood based procedures.
