Covariance in Hilbert spaces #
Given a measure μ defined over a Banach space E, one can consider the associated covariance
bilinear form which maps L₁ L₂ : StrongDual ℝ E to cov[L₁, L₂; μ]. This is called
covarianceBilinDual μ and is defined in the CovarianceBilinDual file.
In the special case where E is a Hilbert space, each L : StrongDual ℝ E can be represented
as the scalar product against some element of E. This motivates the definition of
covarianceBilin, which is a continuous bilinear form mapping x y : E to
cov[⟪x, ·⟫, ⟪y, ·⟫; μ].
Main definitions #
covarianceBilin μ: the continuous bilinear form overErepresenting the covariance of a measure overE.covarianceOperator μ: the bounded operator overEsuch that⟪covarianceOperator μ x, y⟫ = ∫ z, ⟪x, z⟫ * ⟪y, z⟫ ∂μ.

covariance, Hilbert space, bilinear form
Covariance of a measure on an inner product space, as a continuous bilinear form.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
The covariance operator of the measure μ. This is the bounded operator F : E →L[ℝ] E
associated to the continuous bilinear form B : E →L[ℝ] E →L[ℝ] ℝ such that
B x y = ∫ z, ⟪x, z⟫ * ⟪y, z⟫ ∂μ (see covarianceOperator_inner). Namely we have
B x y = ⟪F x, y⟫.
Note that the bilinear form B is the uncentered covariance bilinear form associated to the
measure µ, which is not to be confused with the covariance bilinear form defined earlier in this
file as covarianceBilin μ.
