High-dimensional covariance matrix estimation using a low-rank and diagonal decomposition

Yilei Wu, Yingli Qin, Mu Zhu

We study high-dimensional covariance/precision matrix estimation under the assumption that the covariance/precision matrix can be decomposed into a low-rank component L and a diago…
