We propose a semiparametric method for estimating a precision matrix of high-dimensional elliptical distributions. Unlike most existing methods, our method naturally handles heavy tailness and conducts parameter estimation under a calibration framework, thus achieves improved theoretical rates of convergence and finite sample performance on heavy-tail applications. We further demonstrate the performance of the proposed method using thorough numerical experiments.
我们提出了一种半参数方法来估计高维椭圆分布的精度矩阵。与大多数现有方法不同,我们的方法能自然地处理厚尾性,并在校准框架下进行参数估计,从而在厚尾应用中实现了改进的理论收敛速度和有限样本性能。我们还通过全面的数值实验证明了所提方法的性能。
