Likelihood landscape and maximum likelihood estimation for the discrete orbit recovery model
Zhou Fan, Yi Sun, Tianhao Wang +1
We study the non-convex optimization landscape for maximum likelihood estimation in the discrete orbit recovery model with Gaussian noise. This model is motivated by applications i…

Principal components in linear mixed models with general bulk
Zhou Fan, Yi Sun, Zhichao Wang
We study the principal components of covariance estimators in multivariate mixed-effects linear models. We show that, in high dimensions, the principal eigenvalues and eigenvectors…

Spiked covariances and principal components analysis in high-dimensional random effects models
Zhou Fan, Iain M. Johnstone, Yi Sun
We study principal components analyses in multivariate random and mixed effects linear models, assuming a spherical-plus-spikes structure for the covariance matrix of each random e…
