In this paper we analyze a multivariate non-stationary regression model empirically. With the knowledge about unconditional heteroscedasticty of financial returns, based on univariate studies and a congruent paradigm in Gürtler and Rauh (2009), we test for a time-varying covariance structure...

We propose a Conditional Autoregressive Wishart (CAW) model for the analysis of realized covariance matrices of asset returns. Our model assumes a generalized linear autoregressive moving average structure for the scale matrix of the Wishart distribution allowing to accommodate for complex...

Many different robust estimation approaches for the covariance or shape matrix of multivariate data have been established until today. Tyler's M-estimator has been recognized as the 'most robust' M-estimator for the shape matrix of elliptically symmetric distributed data. Tyler's Mestimators for...

The growth of the cloud computing services and its proliferation in business and academia has triggered enormous opportunities for computation in third-party data management settings. This computing model allows the client to outsource their large computations to cloud data centers, where the...

This article describes how recursive spatial multiplexing (RSM) is a closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) structure for achieving the capacity offered by MIMO channels with a low-complexity detector. The authors investigate how to make RSM able to provide a bit-error rate...

Three main issues are explored in this thesis—volatility measurement, volatility spillover and large-dimension covariance matrices. For the first question of volatility measurement, this thesis compares two newly-proposed, high-frequency volatility measurement models, namely realized...

This research focuses to develop some new techniques on statistical learning including methodology, computation and application. We also developed statistical quantification in nanomaterials. For a large number of random variables with temporal or spatial structures, we proposed shrink estimates...

In this paper, the multipath time delay estimation (TDE) problem for a slow frequency hopping (SFH) system using rank revealing QR factorization method (RRQR) is considered. It gives precious information about numerical rank and null space. By applying the RRQR in association with the well-known...

This paper presents a new random weighting estimation method for dynamic navigation positioning. This method adopts the concept of random weighting estimation to estimate the covariance matrices of system state noises and observation noises for controlling the disturbances of singular...
