Estimation of the noncentrality matrix of a noncentral Wishart distribution with unit scale matrix. A matrix generalization of Leung's domination result.

Heinz Neudecker (2004)

SORT

Similarity:

The main aim is to estimate the noncentrality matrix of a noncentral Wishart distribution. The method used is Leung's but generalized to a matrix loss function. Parallelly Leung's scalar noncentral Wishart identity is generalized to become a matrix identity. The concept of Löwner partial ordering of symmetric matrices is used.

A note on the scalar Haffian.

Heinz Neudecker (2000)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

In this note a uniform transparent presentation of the scalar Haffian will be given. Some well-known results will be generalized. A link will be established between the scalar Haffian and the derivative matrix as developed by Magnus and Neudecker.

A matrix derivation of a representation theorem for (tr A).

Heinz Neudecker (1989)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

A matrix derivation of a well-known representation theorem for (tr A) is given, which is the solution of a restricted maximization problem. The paper further gives a solution of the corresponding restricted minimization problem.

Linear model with inaccurate variance components

Lubomír Kubáček (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

A linear model with approximate variance components is considered. Differences among approximate and actual values of variance components influence the proper position and the shape of confidence ellipsoids, the level of statistical tests and their power function. A procedure how to recognize whether these diferences can be neglected is given in the paper.
