Estimation of covariance, correlation and precision matrices for high-dimensional data

The thesis concerns estimating large correlation and covariance matrices and their inverses. Two new methods are proposed. First, tilting-based methods are proposed to estimate the precision matrix of a p-dimensional random variable, X, when p is possibly much larger than the sample size n. Each 2 b...
