Inference on the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution -- geometrical view
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2453612
Abstract: We consider an inference on the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution. The family of multivariate normal distributions with a fixed mean is seen as a Riemannian manifold with Fisher information metric. Two submanifolds naturally arises; one is the submanifold given by fixed eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, the other is the one given by fixed eigenvalues. We analyze the geometrical structures of these manifolds such as metric, embedding curvature under -connection or -connection. Based on these results, we study 1) the bias of the sample eigenvalues, 2)the information loss caused by neglecting the sample eigenvectors, 3)new estimators that are naturally derived from the geometrical view.
