I'm attempting to generalize a multivariate test of zero cross-covariance between two random varaibles to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces and I'm looking for some advice / ideas on how to work around the lack of a standard normal distribution on infinite dimensional spaces. I have added some background information below and sketched the multivariate test.



Outer product preliminaries



Let $mathcalH$ and $mathcalK$ be Hilbert spaces. Throughout the following we will denote the outer product of two elements $h in mathcalH$ and $k in mathcalK$ by $h otimes_mathcalH k$ and define it as the Hilbert-Schmidt operator from $mathcalH$ to $mathcalK$ defined such that for $tildeh in mathcalH$



$$
h otimes_mathcalH k (tildeh) = langle h , tildeh rangle_mathcalH k
$$



Note that if $V$ and $W$ are real vector spaces, this coincides with the usual matrix outer product, in the sense that for $x in mathbbR^p$ and $y in mathbbR^q$, we have



$$
x otimes_mathbbR^p y (tildex) = langle x , tildex rangle_mathbbR^p y = x^T tildex y = y x^T tildex = (y x^T) tildex
$$



so that the map $x otimes_mathbbR^p y$ corresponds to the matrix $y x^T$.



Mean, covariance and cross-covariance for random variables



Let $X$ and $Y$ be random variables taking values in hilbert spaces $mathcalH_X$ and $mathcalH_Y$ respectively. We then define the mean $m_X$ of the random variable $X$ as the unique element that satisfies



$$
langle m_X, h rangle = E( langle X, h rangle ) quad forall h in mathcalH_X
$$



We define the covariance operator of a random variable



$$
mathscrC = textrmCov(X)=E left((X-EX) otimes (X-EX) right)
$$



where the expectation is taken in the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators on $mathcalH_X$. Equivalently we can define it implicitly as the operator that satisfies



$$
langle mathscrCh_1, h_2 rangle = E(langle X, h_1 rangle langle X, h_2 rangle) quad forall h_1, h_2 in mathcalH_X
$$



Similarly, we define the cross-covariance operator of $X$ and $Y$ as



$$
mathscrK = textrmCov(X, Y)=E left((Y-EY) otimes_mathcalH_Y (X-EX) right)
$$



or implicitly



$$
langle mathscrK h_y, h_x rangle_mathcalH_X = E( langle X, h_x rangle_mathcalH_X langle Y, h_y rangle_mathcalH_Y) quad forall h_x in mathcalH_X, h_y in mathcalH_Y
$$



All of the definitions above fit with the usual definitions for uni- and mulviariate real random variables.



Multivariate cross-covariance test



Consider $X$ and $Y$ to be random variables in $mathbbR^d_X$ and $mathbbR^d_Y$ respectively and define (under assumptions of existence of appropriate moments)



$$
mathscrK = textrmCov(X,Y)=E left((Y-EY) otimes_mathbbR^d_Y (X-EX) right) = E((X-EX)(Y-EY)^T)
$$



Assume now that $X_i$ and $Y_i$ are $n$ independent observations of $X$ and $Y$ and that we want to test if $mathscrK = 0$.



A simple idea is to consider the unbiased estimate of $mathscrK$:



$$
hatmathscrK = frac1n sum_i=1^n (X_i - barX) (Y_i-barY)^T
$$



where $barX = frac1n sum_i=1^n X_i$ and note that by the CLT, if $mathscrK=0$, we would have $sqrtnhatmathscrK oversetmathcalDto mathcalN(0, mathscrD)$ where $mathscrD$ is the covariance of $XY^T$.



Leaving out theoretical justifications, we can estimate $mathscrD$ using the samples and compute $hatmathscrD^-1/2$ such that defining
$$
T_n = sqrtnhatmathscrD^-1/2hatmathscrK
$$



we have $T_n oversetmathcalDto N(0, mathscrI)$ where $mathscrI$ is the identity operator.



Thus by the continous mapping theorem, $lVert T_n rVert_2 oversetmathcalDto chi^2_d_X cdot d_Y$ which allows us to create tests of appropriate levels.



Infinite-dimensional cross-covariance test



Assume a setup similar to the previous section except now $X$ takes values in $mathcalH_X$ and $Y$ in $mathcalH_Y$ where $mathcalH_X$ and $mathcalH_Y$ are infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We have $n$ iid. observations of $X$ and $Y$ and want to test if the cross-covariance operator is zero.



We can still estimate the operator consistently as before (under suitable moment conditions) by



$$
hatmathscrK = frac1n sum_i=1^n (Y_i-barY) otimes_mathcalH_Y (X_i-barX)
$$



however this operator will always have finite rank and thus not behave properly as a cross-covariance operator. This can be solved by regularization, thus we can have a sensible estimate of $mathscrK$. I'm not quite sure that this is asymptotically normal but even if it is, we cannot "whiten" the asymptotic distribution, because the covariance operator of the asymptotic Gaussian is not invertible (since it is Hilbert-Schmidt, thus compact and therefore has finite-dimensional image).



Is there any way at all to remedy this and construct a test-statistic in a a way similar to above? Maybe theres a simpler way to test if the cross-covariance is zero but I have yet to find one that doesnt make sweeping assumptions on $X$ and $Y$. All ideas and suggestions are welcome!

    T_n = sqrtnhatmathscrD^-1/2hatmathscrK
