Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

High-dimensional data analysis has been an important focus within theoretical and applied statistics research for more than three decades, with applications areas including biostatistics, bioinformatics, chemistry, ecology, economy, and social sciences. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect research papers that use statistical (methodological, theoretical, or computational) principles for high-dimensional data analysis, as well as scalable optimization methods and applications in important real-world fields. 

In this Special Issue, we encourage original research submissions that provide new results in the setting of high-dimensional statistical inference and their applications. Review papers within all aspects of high-dimensional data analysis are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
This study addresses the challenge of estimating high-dimensional covariance matrices in financial markets, where traditional sparsity assumptions often fail due to the interdependence of stock returns across sectors.

This study addresses the challenge of estimating high-dimensional covariance matrices in financial markets, where traditional sparsity assumptions often fail due to the interdependence of stock returns across sectors. We present an innovative element-aggregation method that aggregates matrix entries to estimate covariance matrices. This method is designed to be applicable to both sparse and non-sparse matrices, transcending the limitations of sparsity-based approaches. The computational simplicity of the method’s implementation ensures low complexity, making it a practical tool for real-world applications. Theoretical analysis then confirms the method’s consistency and effectiveness with its convergence rate in specific scenarios. Additionally, numerical experiments validate the method’s superior algorithmic performance compared to conventional methods, as well as the reduction in relative estimation errors. Furthermore, empirical studies in financial portfolio optimization demonstrate the method’s significant risk management benefits, particularly its ability to effectively mitigate portfolio risk even with limited sample sizes.
