Weighted average ensemble for Cholesky-based covariance matrix estimation by Xiaoning Kang, Zhenguo Gao, Xi Liang, Xinwei Deng

“…Our key idea is to obtain different weights for different candidate estimates by minimizing an appropriate risk function with respect to the Frobenius norm. Different from the existing ensemble estimation based on the MCD, the proposed method provides a sparse weighting scheme such that one can distinguish which variable orderings employed in the MCD are useful for the ensemble matrix estimate. …”
