This paper proposes a novel shrinkage estimator for high-dimensional covariance matrices by extending the Oracle Approximating Shrinkage (OAS) of Chen et al. (2009) to target the diagonal elements of ...
Methods of Rubin (1983) for robust estimation of a mean and covariance matrix and associated parameters are extended to analyse data with missing values. The methods are maximum likelihood (ML) for ...
The distribution of genetic variation among multiple traits is a key determinant of how a population will respond to selection (Lande, 1979; Schluter, 1996; Arnold et al., 2001). For the prediction of ...
