We study properties of a sample covariance estimate $\widehat \Sigma$ given a finite sample of $n$ i.i.d. centered random elements in $\R^d$ with the covariance matrix $\Sigma$. We derive dimension-free bounds on the squared Frobenius norm…

In many situations, when dealing with several populations, equality of the covariance operators is assumed. An important issue is to study if this assumption holds before making other inferences. In this paper, we develop a test for…
