novelist.assign: Parameter-assigned NOVELIST estimators of a covariance/correlation matrix

Description

A series of NOVELIST estimators of a covariance/correlation matrix using a series of assigned parameters $\lambda$ and $\delta$.

Usage

novelist.assign(m, th, delta, thf = softt)

Arguments

m
a $p$ by $p$ sample covariance matrix.
th
a sequence of thresholding levels, for example th=seq(0,1,by=0.05).
delta
a sequence of shrinkage intensities,for example delta=seq(-0.5,1.5,by=0.05).
thf
thresholding method. Soft thresholding is used if thf=softt,hard thresholding is used if thf=hardt or any other generalized thresholding method chosen by users.

Value

cor.novel
an array of NOVELIST estimators of the correlation matrix.
cov.novel
an array of NOVELIST estimators of the covariance matrix.
