給出了一種基于均值未知情形下，高維協(xié)方差矩陣估計的新算法。即當(dāng)矩陣的維數(shù)大于樣本容量時，根據(jù)隨機矩陣?yán)碚?，通過樣本協(xié)方差矩陣特征值的邊緣密度函數(shù)和總體特征值的對數(shù)似然函數(shù)，得到目標(biāo)矩陣特征值的估計量?；谑湛s估計的思想，對目標(biāo)矩陣特征值和樣本協(xié)方差矩陣特征值進行收縮估計，通過特征值的估計得到高維協(xié)方差矩陣的一個新的估計量。數(shù)值模擬表明，對于多元正態(tài)的總體，高維協(xié)方差矩陣的新估計量較樣本協(xié)方差矩陣的精度更好。

協(xié)方差矩陣的估計是現(xiàn)代統(tǒng)計學(xué)中一個重要的參數(shù)估計問題，人們在實際應(yīng)用中會遇到各種類型的海量數(shù)據(jù)，如股票交易數(shù)據(jù)、圖像處理數(shù)據(jù)、基因檢測數(shù)據(jù)等，這些數(shù)據(jù)在統(tǒng)計處理中通常稱為高維數(shù)據(jù)。

A new algorithm for estimating high dimensional covariance matrix based on unknown mean is presented. That is, when the dimension of the matrix, p, is larger than the sample size n, according to the random matrix theory, the estimators of the eigenvalues of the objective matrix are obtained through the marginal density function of the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix and the logarithmic likelihood function of the population eigenvalues. Based on the idea of shrinkage estimation, the eigenvalues of target matrix and sample covariance matrix are estimated, and a new estimator of the high-dimensional covariance matrix is obtained by estimating the eigenvalues. Numerical simulation shows that the new estimator of high-dimensional covariance matrix is more accurate than the sample covariance matrix for multivariate normal population.
