This work concerns the problem of rank estimation in semidefinite matrices, having either indefinite or semidefinite matrix estimator satisfying a typical asymptotic normality condition. Several rank tests are examined, based on either available rank tests or basic new results. A number of...

We focus on the problem of rank estimation in an unknown symmetric matrix based on a symmetric, asymptotically normal estimator of the matrix. The related positive definite limit covariance matrix is assumed to be estimated consistently, and to have either a Kronecker product or an arbitrary...
