In this article, we employ a regression formulation to estimate the high dimensional covariance matrix for a given network structure. Using prior information contained in the network relationships, we model the covariance as a polynomial function of the symmetric adjacency matrix. Accordingly,...

In multivariate analysis, the covariance matrix associated with a set of variables of interest (namely response variables) commonly contains valuable information about the dataset. When the dimension of response variables is considerably larger than the sample size, it is a non-trivial task to...

Probability Matching, as a well-documented suboptimal stochastic choice, describes subjects’ tendency to mix or match their choice frequency to the outcome probabilities when repeatedly asked to predict two payoff-relevant outcomes that only differ in their probabilities of occurrence. It is a...

In a high dimensional linear regression model, we propose a new procedure for testing statistical significance of a subset of regression coefficients. Specifically, we employ the partial covariances between the response variable and the tested covariates to obtain a test statistic. The resulting...

This article introduces covariance regression analysis for a p-dimensional response vector. The proposed method explores the regression relationship between the p-dimensional covariance matrix and auxiliary information. We study three types of estimators: maximum likelihood, ordinary least...
