Asymptotic non-linear shrinkage and eigenvector overlap for weighted sample covariance
We compute asymptotic non-linear shrinkage formulas for covariance and precision matrix estimators for weighted sample covariances, and the joint sample-population eigenvector overlap distribution, in the spirit of Ledoit and P\'ech\'e. We detail explicitly the formulas for exponentially-weighted sample covariances. We propose an algorithm to numerically compute those formulas. Experimentally, we show the performance of the asymptotic non-linear shrinkage estimators. Finally, we test the robustness of the theory to a heavy-tailed distributions.

Cross-Validated Tuning of Shrinkage Factors for MVDR Beamforming Based on Regularized Covariance Matrix Estimation
This paper considers the regularized estimation of covariance matrices (CM) of high-dimensional (compound) Gaussian data for minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming. Linear shrinkage is applied to imp…
Frequentist Shrinkage under Inequality Constraints
This paper shows how to shrink extremum estimators towards inequality constraints motivated by economic theory. We propose an Inequality Constrained Shrinkage Estimator (ICSE) which takes the form of a weighted average b…
Multi Anchor Point Shrinkage for the Sample Covariance Matrix (Extended Version)
Portfolio managers faced with limited sample sizes must use factor models to estimate the covariance matrix of a high-dimensional returns vector. For the simplest one-factor market model, success rests on the quality of …
Correlation of Data Reconstruction Error and Shrinkages in Pair-wise Distances under Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
In this on-going work, I explore certain theoretical and empirical implications of data transformations under the PCA. In particular, I state and prove three theorems about PCA, which I paraphrase as follows: 1). PCA wit…
General ClassificationAnalysis of a multi-target linear shrinkage covariance estimator
Multi-target linear shrinkage is an extension of the standard single-target linear shrinkage for covariance estimation. We combine several constant matrices - the targets - with the sample covariance matrix. We derive th…
