Shen will discuss a recent project on estimating the covariance of matrix data. Unlike previous works that rely heavily on matrix normal distribution assumption and the requirement of fixed matrix size, he will introduce a class of distribution-free regularized covariance estimation methods for high-dimensional matrix data under a separability condition and a bandable covariance structure. Computational algorithms, theoretical results, and applications will be discussed.   Department Of Epidemiology & Biostatistics Fei.Jiang@ucsf.edu America/Los_Angeles public
