Abstract:

Many standard multivariate techniques were developed based on the assumption that the covariance matrices from different groups are equal. A well-known test for testing the equality of covariance is the Bartlett's test. However the Bartlett's test is only a function of the volumes of covariance matrices not accounting for their shapes and orientations and only for p< < n cases. In this work we developed a Projection Pursuit Ellipses (PPE) for high-dimensional data and compared its performance with the Bartlett's test and a modern benchmark for high dimensional-p data.
