  • Substitution Principle for clt of linear spectral statistics of high dimensional sample covariance matrices with applications to hypothesis testing
    Annals of Statistics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Shurong Zheng, Zhidong Bai, Jianfeng Yao
    Abstract:

    Sample covariance matrices are widely used in multivariate statistical analysis. The central limit theorems (CLTs) for linear spectral statistics of high-dimensional noncentralized sample covariance matrices have received considerable attention in random matrix theory and have been applied to many high-dimensional statistical problems. However, known population mean vectors are assumed for noncentralized sample covariance matrices, some of which even assume Gaussian-like moment conditions. In fact, there are still another two most frequently used sample covariance matrices: the ME (moment estimator, constructed by subtracting the sample mean vector from each sample vector) and the unbiased sample covariance matrix (by changing the denominator $n$ as $N=n-1$ in the ME) without depending on unknown population mean vectors. In this paper, we not only establish the new CLTs for noncentralized sample covariance matrices when the Gaussian-like moment conditions do not hold but also characterize the nonnegligible differences among the CLTs for the three classes of high-dimensional sample covariance matrices by establishing a Substitution Principle: by substituting the adjusted sample size $N=n-1$ for the actual sample size $n$ in the centering term of the new CLTs, we obtain the CLT of the unbiased sample covariance matrices. Moreover, it is found that the difference between the CLTs for the ME and unbiased sample covariance matrix is nonnegligible in the centering term although the only difference between two sample covariance matrices is a normalization by $n$ and $n-1$, respectively. The new results are applied to two testing problems for high-dimensional covariance matrices.

    Abstract:

    Sample covariance matrices are widely used in multivariate statistical analysis. The central limit theorems (CLT's) for linear spectral statistics of high-dimensional non-centered sample covariance matrices have received considerable attention in random matrix theory and have been applied to many high-dimensional statistical problems. However, known population mean vectors are assumed for non-centered sample covariance matrices, some of which even assume Gaussian-like moment conditions.

In this paper, we not only establish new CLT's for non-centered sample covariance matrices without Gaussian-like moment conditions but also characterize the non-negligible differences among the CLT's for the three classes of high-dimensional sample covariance matrices by establishing a {\em Substitution Principle}: substitute the {\em adjusted} sample size $N=n-1$ for the actual sample size $n$ in the major centering term of the new CLT's so as to obtain the CLT of the unbiased sample covariance matrices. Moreover, it is found that the difference between the CLT's for the MLE and unbiased sample covariance matrix is non-negligible in the major centering term although the two sample covariance matrices only have differences $n$ and $n-1$ on the dominator. The new results are applied to two testing problems for high-dimensional data.

  • exact solutions to the equations of ideal gas dynamics by means of the Substitution Principle
    International Journal of Non-linear Mechanics, 1998
    Co-Authors: Francesco Oliveri, Maria Paola Speciale
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper the equations governing three-dimensional unsteady flows of an inviscid, thermally non-conducting fluid, subjected to no extraneous force, are considered. First, some simple exact solutions are explicitly determined; then, by using the invariance of the given equations with respect to a generalized stretching group of all but space variables and a generalized time translation new solutions are immediately constructed. This invariance is known in the literature as Substitution Principle, since it allows to generate new solutions (substituted flows) from given solutions.
