Discriminant analysis on high dimensional Gaussian copula model. (English) Zbl 1398.62164

Summary: In this paper we propose a classifier for the high dimensional Gaussian copula model. Besides, a Rotate-and-Solve procedure is proposed to tackle with the non-sparse case. Both theoretical analysis and simulation study show that the classifier performs better than some state-of-the-art methods.
