We consider estimation of covariance matrices and their inverses (a.k.a. precision matrices) for high-dimensional stationary and locally stationary time series. In the latter case the covariance ...

The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 40, No. 2 (April 2012), pp. 1024-1060 (37 pages) Many statistical applications require an estimate of a covariance matrix and/or its inverse. When the matrix dimension ...

This short paper demonstrates how a covariance matrix estimated using log returns of multiple assets in their respective base currencies can be converted directly into a covariance matrix in a single ...

We consider the problem of finding a valid covariance matrix in the foreign exchange market given an initial nonpositively semidefinite (non-PSD) estimate of such a matrix. The common no-arbitrage ...
