Variance is a measurement of the spread between numbers in a data set. Investors use the variance equation to evaluate a portfolio’s asset allocation.

We consider the problem of estimating high-dimensional covariance matrices of K -populations or classes in the setting where the sample sizes are comparable to the data dimension. We propose ...

About this issue Abstract This paper studies the joint limiting behavior of extreme eigenvalues and trace of large sample covariance matrix in a generalized spiked population model, where the ...

This paper proposes a novel shrinkage estimator for high-dimensional covariance matrices by extending the Oracle Approximating Shrinkage (OAS) of Chen et al. (2009) to target the diagonal elements of ...

A covariance matrix is a powerful statistical tool that provides insights into the relationships between different variables in a dataset. It indicates the extent to which two or more random variables ...

Learn how covariance is used to reduce risk in modern portfolio theory, how covariance is calculated and how it is used to provide portfolio diversification.

Estimation errors are incurred when calculating the sample space-time covariance matrix. We formulate the variance of this estimator when operating on a finite sample set, compare it to known results, ...
