An important problem in multivariate statistics is the estimation of covariance matrices. We consider a class of nonparametric covariance models in which the entries in the covariance matrix depend on ...

We extend the KVB approach of Kiefer, Vogelsang, and Bunzel (2000) to constructing robust M tests without consistent estimation of the asymptotic covariance matrix. We demonstrate that, when model ...
