On Sparse Nonparametric Conditional Covariance Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a penalized kernel smoothing method for the problem of selecting nonzero elements of the conditional precision matrix, known as conditional covariance selection. This problem has a key role in many modern applications such as finance and computational biology. However, it has not been properly addressed. Our estimator is derived under minimal assumptions on the underlying probability distribution and works well in the high-dimensional setting. The efficiency of the algorithm is demonstrated on both simulation studies and the analysis of

High Dimensional Graphs and Variable Selection with the Lasso
The pattern of zero entries in the inverse covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution corresponds to conditional independence restrictions between variables. Covariance selection aims at estimating those structural zeros from data. We show that neighborhood selection with the Lasso is a computationally attractive alternative to standard covariance selection for sparse high-dimensio...

متن کاملOn the Sample Complexity of Graphical Model Selection for Non-Stationary Processes
We formulate and analyze a graphical model selection method for inferring the conditional independence graph of a high-dimensional non-stationary Gaussian random process (time series) from a finite-length observation. The observed process samples are assumed uncorrelated over time but having different covariance matrices. We characterize the sample complexity of graphical model selection for su...
متن کاملNonparametric Covariance Model.
There has been considerable attention on estimation of conditional variance function in the literature. We propose here a nonparametric model for conditional covariance matrix. A kernel estimator is developed accordingly, its asymptotic bias and variance are derived, and its asymptotic normality is established. A real data example is used to illustrate the proposed estimation procedure.
متن کاملJoint estimation of sparse multivariate regression and conditional graphical models
Multivariate regression model is a natural generalization of the classical univariate regression model for fitting multiple responses. In this paper, we propose a highdimensional multivariate conditional regression model for constructing sparse estimates of the multivariate regression coefficient matrix that accounts for the dependency structure among the multiple responses. The proposed method...
