Clique Matrices for Statistical Graph Decomposition and Parameterising Restricted Positive Definite Matrices
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce Clique Matrices as an alternative representation of undirected graphs, being a generalisation of the incidence matrix representation. Here we use clique matrices to decompose a graph into a set of possibly overlapping clusters, defined as wellconnected subsets of vertices. The decomposition is based on a statistical description which encourages clusters to be well connected and few in number. Inference is carried out using a variational approximation. Clique matrices also play a natural role in parameterising positive definite matrices under zero constraints on elements of the matrix. We show that clique matrices can parameterise all positive definite matrices restricted according to a decomposable graph and form a structured Factor Analysis approximation in the non-decomposable case.

Identifying Graph Clusters using Variational Inference and links to Covariance Parameterisation
Finding clusters of well-connected nodes in a graph is useful in many domains, including Social Network, Web and molecular interaction analyses. From a computational viewpoint, finding these clusters or graph communities is a difficult problem. We consider the framework of Clique Matrices to decompose a graph into a set of possibly overlapping clusters, defined as well-connected subsets of vert...

متن کاملSparse Matrix Decompositions and Graph Characterizations
Zeros in positive definite correlation matrices arise frequently in probability and statistics, and are intimately related to the notion of stochastic independence. The question of when zeros (i.e., sparsity) in a positive definite matrix A are preserved in its Cholesky decomposition, and vice versa, was addressed by Paulsen et al. [19] [see Journal of Functional Analysis, 85, 151-178]. In part...
متن کاملProperties of matrices with numerical ranges in a sector
Let $(A)$ be a complex $(ntimes n)$ matrix and assume that the numerical range of $(A)$ lies in the set of a sector of half angle $(alpha)$ denoted by $(S_{alpha})$. We prove the numerical ranges of the conjugate, inverse and Schur complement of any order of $(A)$ are in the same $(S_{alpha})$.The eigenvalues of some kinds of matrix product and numerical ranges of hadmard product, star-congruen...
متن کاملGyrovector Spaces on the Open Convex Cone of Positive Definite Matrices
In this article we review an algebraic definition of the gyrogroup and a simplified version of the gyrovector space with two fundamental examples on the open ball of finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces, which are the Einstein and M"{o}bius gyrovector spaces. We introduce the structure of gyrovector space and the gyroline on the open convex cone of positive definite matrices and explore its...
