Abstract
This thesis studies applications of nonlinear eigenvalue shrinkage in high-dimensional estimation problems. We focus on applications in high-dimensional linear discriminant analysis and linear regression in the regime where the number of predictors and the sample size grow proportionately to infinity. Moreover, we study the problem of estimation of functions of large symmetric matrices in the presence of additive noise and provide an algorithm to approximate the optimally shrunk eigenvalues. We also study the problem of spectrum recovery, which serves as an intermediate step in the procedure that we describe.
