Abstract: Testing the structures equality of covariance matrices is of importance in many areas of statistical analysis, such as micro-array analysis signal processing. Conventional tests for finite-dimensional covariance can not be applied to high-dimensional data in general, and tests for high-dimensional covariance in the literature usually depend on some special structure of the matrix. In this talk, we propose an empirical likelihood method to test for the structures equality of covariance matrices by simply splitting the data into two groups. It is shown that the asymptotic distribution of the new test is independent of the dimension, is more powerful than many known tests in the literature. Simulations will also reported to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
