In this study, we investigate the variance-covariance matrix of affine equivariant matrix-valued statistics when sampling from complex elliptical distributions, and derive the variance-covariance matrix of the sample covariance matrix (SCM) along with its theoretical mean squared error (MSE) when finite fourth-order moments exist. Illustrative examples of the formulas are also provided.
We derive the form of the variance-covariance matrix for any affine equivariant matrix-valued statistics when sampling from complex elliptical distributions. We then use this result to derive the variance-covariance matrix of the sample covariance matrix (SCM) as well as its theoretical mean squared error (MSE) when finite fourth-order moments exist. Finally, illustrative examples of the formulas are presented.
