We study parameter estimation in linear Gaussian covariance models, which are $p$-dimensional Gaussian models with linear constraints on the covariance matrix. Maximum likelihood estimation for this class of models leads to a non-convex…

In this paper, we compare two variances of maxima of $N$ standard Gaussian random variables. One is a sequence of $N$ i.i.d. standard Gaussians, and the other one is $N$ standard Gaussians with covariances $\sigma_{1,2}=\rho \in(0,1)$ and…

Let $M_n$ be the maximum of $n$ zero-mean gaussian variables $X_1,..,X_n$ with covariance matrix of minimum eigenvalue $\lambda$ and maximum eigenvalue $\Lambda$. Then, for $n \ge 70$, $$\Pr\{M_n \ge \lambda \left (2 \log n - 2.5 - \log(2…
