Title: Two-Sample Thresholding Test for High-Dimensional Covariance Matrix

Keywords: High dimensional covariance ; thresholding ; large deviation
Abstract:

We propose a thresholding test for the equality of covariance matrices between two high dimensional populations. The test can achieve a power improvement by reducing the variance of the test statistics without thresholding. The asymptotic distribution of the test statistic is established and the corresponding power function is derived. Some simulation studies are carried out to confirm the theoretical results.
