Minimax optimal estimation of general bandable covariance matrices

Xue, Lingzhou; Zou, Hui - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 116 (2013) C, pp. 45-51

Cai et al. (2010) [4] have studied the minimax optimal estimation of a collection of large bandable covariance matrices whose off-diagonal entries decay to zero at a polynomial rate. They have shown that the minimax optimal procedures are fundamentally different under Frobenius and spectral...

Nonparametric regression estimation with general parametric error covariance: a more efficient two-step estimator

Su, Liangjun; Ullah, Aman; Wang, Yun - In: Empirical Economics 45 (2013) 2, pp. 1009-1024

Recently Martins-Filho and Yao (J Multivar Anal 100:309–333, <CitationRef CitationID="CR7">2009</CitationRef>) have proposed a two-step estimator of nonparametric regression function with parametric error covariance and demonstrate that it is more efficient than the usual LLE. In the present paper we demonstrate that MY’s estimator...</citationref>
