Abstract
We propose a general method for optimally approximating an arbitrary matrix M by a structured matrix T (circulant, Toeplitz/Hankel, etc.) and examine its use for estimating the spectra of genomic linkage disequilibrium matrices. This application is prototypical of a variety of genomic and proteomic problems that demand robustness to incomplete biosequence information. We perform a simulation study and corroborative test of our method using real genomic data from the Mouse Genome Database [1]. The results confirm the predicted utility of the method and provide strong evidence of its potential value to a wide range of bioinformatics applications. Our optimal general matrix approximation method is expected to be of independent interest to an even broader range of applications in applied mathematics and engineering.
