Abstract

Let Sigma be an unknown covariance matrix. Perturbation(in)equalities are derived for various scale-invariant functionalsof Sigma such as correlations (including partial, multiple andcanonical correlations) and others in connection with principalcomponent analysis. These results show that a particular confidenceset for Sigma; is canonical if one is interested in simultaneousconfidence bounds for these functionals. The confidence set isbased on the ratio of the extreme eigenvalues of Sigma-1 S, where S is an estimator for Sigma. Asymptotic considerations for theclassical Wishart model show that the resulting confidence boundsare substantially smaller than those obtained by inverting likelihoodratio tests.
