Penalized Bregman Divergence Estimation via Coordinate Descent
Variable selection via penalized estimation is appealing for dimension reduction. For penalized linear regression, Efron, et al. (2004) introduced the LARS algorithm. Recently, the coordinate descent (CD) algorithm was developed by Friedman, et al. (2007) for penalized linear regression and penalized logistic regression and was shown to gain computational superiority. This paper explores...
متن کاملConvex Relaxations of Bregman Divergence Clustering
Although many convex relaxations of clustering have been proposed in the past decade, current formulations remain restricted to spherical Gaussian or discriminative models and are susceptible to imbalanced clusters. To address these shortcomings, we propose a new class of convex relaxations that can be flexibly applied to more general forms of Bregman divergence clustering. By basing these new ...
متن کاملBregman and Burbea-rao Divergence for Matrices
In this paper, the Bregman and Burbea-Rao divergences for matrices are investigated. Two mean-value theorems for the divergences induced by C-functions are derived. As application, certain Cauchy type means of the entries of the matrices are constructed. By utilizing three classes of parametrized convex functions, the exponential convexity of the divergences, thought as a function of the parame...
متن کاملConceptual issues in Bayesian divergence time estimation.
Bayesian inference of species divergence times is an unusual statistical problem, because the divergence time parameters are not identifiable unless both fossil calibrations and sequence data are available. Commonly used marginal priors on divergence times derived from fossil calibrations may conflict with node order on the phylogenetic tree causing a change in the prior on divergence times for...
متن کاملProper Scoring Rules and Bregman Divergence
Proper scoring rules are a means of evaluating the quality of probabilistic forecasts. They induce dissimilarity measures of probability distributions known as Bregman divergences. We survey the literature on both entities and present their mathematical properties in a unified theoretical framework. This perspective allows us to identify score and Bregman divergences and characterize them toget...
