Abstract:

In the spectral analysis, it is essential to estimate the cross-spectral matrix, which is complex-valued, positive definite and continuous with respect to the frequency. In this work, we employ the ideas of L_1 regularization and roughness penalization, and propose a new approach to estimate the sparse large cross spectrum matrix. We develop an alternating direction method to solve the challenging optimization problem and prove its convergence properties. Both simulation and real applications also demonstrate the competitive finite-sample performance of our proposal.
