Title
Tests for covariance matrices in high dimension with less sample size
Abstract
In this article, we propose tests for covariance matrices of high dimension with fewer observations than the dimension for a general class of distributions with positive definite covariance matrices. In the one-sample case, tests are proposed for sphericity and for testing the hypothesis that the covariance matrix @S is an identity matrix, by providing an unbiased estimator of tr[@S^2] under the general model which requires no more computing time than the one available in the literature for a normal model. In the two-sample case, tests for the equality of two covariance matrices are given. The asymptotic distributions of proposed tests in the one-sample case are derived under the assumption that the sample size N=O(p^@d),1/2
