This paper considers the regularized Tyler’s scatter
14
+
estimator for elliptical distributions, which has received considerable attention recently. Various types of shrinkage Tyler’s estimators have been proposed in the literature and proved work effectively in the “large small ” scenario. Nevertheless, the existence
15
+
and uniqueness properties of the estimators are not thoroughly
16
+
studied, and in certain cases the algorithms may fail to converge.
17
+
In this work, we provide a general result that analyzes the sufficient condition for the existence of a family of shrinkage Tyler’s
18
+
estimators, which quantitatively shows that regularization indeed
19
+
reduces the number of required samples for estimation and the
20
+
convergence of the algorithms for the estimators. For two specific
21
+
shrinkage Tyler’s estimators, we also proved that the condition is
22
+
necessary and the estimator is unique. Finally, we show that the
23
+
two estimators are actually equivalent. Numerical algorithms are
24
+
also derived based on the majorization-minimization framework,
25
+
under which the convergence is analyzed systematically.
