On Eigenvector Statistics of Large-Dimensional Sample Covariance Matrices with Applications

Weiming Li, Zeng Li, Qinwen Wang

We study the eigenvector-weighted spectral statistics \[ T_n(φ,g)=p^{-1}tr\{φ(\boldsymbol{S}_n)g(\boldsymbolΣ)\} \] of large-dimensional sample covariance matrices \(\boldsymbol{S}…

Mean-Shift PCA by Knockoff Mean

Mengda Li, Zeng Li, Jianfeng Yao

Removing noise is difficult, but adding noise is easy. In this work, we show how to eliminate mean-shift noisy components from PCA by deliberately introducing knockoff mean-shift p…

Robust estimation for number of factors in high dimensional factor modeling via Spearman correlation matrix

Jiaxin Qiu, Zeng Li, Jianfeng Yao

Determining the number of factors in high-dimensional factor modeling is essential but challenging, especially when the data are heavy-tailed. In this paper, we introduce a new est…
