Abstract

We consider here the problem of estimating the p×p scale matrix Σ of a multivariate linear regression model when the distribution of the observed matrix belongs to a large class of elliptically symmetric distributions. Any estimator Σˆ of Σ is assessed through the data-based loss tr(S+Σ(Σ−1Σˆ−Ip)2)where S is the sample covariance matrix and S+ is its Moore–Penrose inverse.
