Distributed Learning of Gaussian Graphical Models via Marginal Likelihoods
In this talk, I will introduce our recent work on a distributed estimation framework of the inverse covariance matrix, also called the concentration matrix, in Gaussian graphical models. Traditional centralized estimation often requires iterative and expensive global inference and is therefore difficult in large distributed networks. In this work, we propose a general framework for distributed ...
متن کاملDistributed Parameter Estimation in Probabilistic Graphical Models
This paper presents foundational theoretical results on distributed parameter estimation for undirected probabilistic graphical models. It introduces a general condition on composite likelihood decompositions of these models which guarantees the global consistency of distributed estimators, provided the local estimators are consistent.
متن کاملMarginal likelihoods for non-Gaussian models using auxiliary mixture sampling
Several new estimators of the marginal likelihood for complex non-Gaussian models are developed. These estimators make use of the output of auxiliary mixture sampling for count data and for binary and multinomial data. One of these estimators is based on combiningChib’s estimatorwith data augmentation as in auxiliarymixture sampling,while the other estimators are importance sampling and bridge ...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Gaussian Graphical Models for Marginal Independence
Graphical models with bi-directed edges (↔) represent marginal independence: the absence of an edge between two vertices indicates that the corresponding variables are marginally independent. In this paper, we consider maximum likelihood estimation in the case of continuous variables with a Gaussian joint distribution, sometimes termed a covariance graph model. We present a new fitting algorith...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Hidden Markov Models with Intractable Likelihoods
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a popular technique for approximating likelihoods and is often used in parameter estimation when the likelihood functions are analytically intractable. Although the use of ABC is widespread in many fields, there has been little investigation of the theoretical properties of the resulting estimators. In this paper we give a theoretical analysis of the as...
