In Jin et al. (2014), the limiting spectral distribution (LSD) of a symmetrized auto-cross covariance matrix is derived using matrix manipulation. The goal of this note is to provide a new method to derive the LSD, which greatly simplifies the derivation in Jin et al. (2014). Moreover, as a...

Many kernel-based learning algorithms have the computational load scaled with the sample size n due to the column size of a full kernel Gram matrix K. This article considers the Nyström low-rank approximation. It uses a reduced kernel K̂, which is n×m, consisting of m columns (say columns...

The traditional linear Granger test has been widely used to examine the linear causality among several time series in bivariate settings as well as multivariate settings. Hiemstra and Jones [19] develop a nonlinear Granger causality test in bivariate settings to investigate the nonlinear...

In the spiked population model introduced by Johnstone (2001) [11], the population covariance matrix has all its eigenvalues equal to unit except for a few fixed eigenvalues (spikes). The question is to quantify the effect of the perturbation caused by the spike eigenvalues. Baik and Silverstein...

We propose and develop mean-variance-ratio (MVR) statistics for comparing the performance of prospects (e.g., investment portfolios, assets, etc.) after the effect of the background risk has been mitigated. We investigate the performance of the statistics in large and small samples and show that...

Formulas for covariance matrix between a random vector and its ordered components are derived for different distributions including multivariate normal,t, andF. The present formulas and related results obtained here lead to some known results in the literature as special cases.

We consider rank regression for clustered data analysis and investigate the induced smoothing method for obtaining the asymptotic covariance matrices of the parameter estimators. We prove that the induced estimating functions are asymptotically unbiased and the resulting estimators are strongly...

The positivity of the best linear unbiased estimator of the scale parameter of a location-scale family of distributions in terms of complete or selected set of order statistics has only been conjectured in the literature based solely on empirical evidence. This paper offers an analytical proof...
