High-Order Statistical Functional Expansion and Its Application To Some Nonsmooth Problems

Fan Zhou, Ping Li, Cun-Hui Zhang

Let $\bx_j = \btheta +\bep_j, j=1,...,n$, be observations of an unknown parameter $\btheta$ in a Euclidean or separable Hilbert space $\scrH$, where $\bep_j$ are noises as random e…

Eigenvalue distributions of variance components estimators in high-dimensional random effects models

Zhou Fan, Iain M. Johnstone

We study the spectra of MANOVA estimators for variance component covariance matrices in multivariate random effects models. When the dimensionality of the observations is large and…
