Robust Inverse Covariance Estimation under Noisy Measurements
This paper proposes a robust method to estimate the inverse covariance under noisy measurements. The method is based on the estimation of each column in the inverse covariance matrix independently via robust regression, which enables parallelization. Different from previous linear programming based methods that cannot guarantee a positive semi-definite covariance matrix, our method adjusts the ...
متن کامل0 Sparse Inverse Covariance Estimation
Recently, there has been focus on penalized loglikelihood covariance estimation for sparse inverse covariance (precision) matrices. The penalty is responsible for inducing sparsity, and a very common choice is the convex l1 norm. However, the best estimator performance is not always achieved with this penalty. The most natural sparsity promoting “norm” is the non-convex l0 penalty but its lack ...
متن کاملInverse Covariance Simplification for Efficient Uncertainty Management
When it comes to manipulating uncertain knowledge such as noisy observations of physical quantities, one may ask how to do it in a simple way. Processing corrupted signals or images always propagates the uncertainties from the input data to the final results, whether these errors are explicitly computed or not. When such error estimates are provided, it is crucial to handle them in such a way t...
متن کاملInverse Covariance Estimation with Structured Groups
Estimating the inverse covariance matrix of p variables from n observations is challenging when n p, since the sample covariance matrix is singular and cannot be inverted. A popular solution is to optimize for the `1 penalized estimator; however, this does not incorporate structure domain knowledge and can be expensive to optimize. We consider finding inverse covariance matrices with group stru...
متن کاملMissing values and sparse inverse covariance estimation
We propose an `1-regularized likelihood method for estimating the inverse covariance matrix in the high-dimensional multivariate normal model in presence of missing data. Our method is based on the assumption that the data are missing at random (MAR) which entails also the completely missing at random case. The implementation of the method is non-trivial as the observed negative log-likelihood ...
