Model Selection in Undirected Graphical Models with the Elastic Net

چکیده
Structure learning in random fields has attracted considerable attention due to its difficulty and importance in areas such as remote sensing, computational biology, natural language processing, protein networks, and social network analysis. We consider the problem of estimating the probabilistic graph structure associated with a Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF), the Ising model and the Potts model, by extending previous work on l1 regularized neighborhood estimation to include the elastic net l1 + l2 penalty. Additionally, we show numerical evidence that the edge density plays a role in the graph recovery process. Finally, we introduce a novel method for augmenting neighborhood estimation by leveraging pair-wise neighborhood union estimates.

متن کاملGraphical Interaction Models for Time Series: Parameter Estimation and Model Selection
We present a parametric approach for graphical interaction modelling in multivariate stationary time series. In these models, the possible dependencies between the components of the process are represented by edges in an undirected graph. We consider vector autoregressive models and propose a parametrization in terms of inverse covariances, which are contrained to zero for missing edges. The pa...
متن کاملGraphical Models and Exponential Families
We provide a classi cation of graphical models according to their representation as subfamilies of exponential families. Undirected graphical models with no hidden variables are linear exponential families (LEFs), directed acyclic graphical models and chain graphs with no hidden variables, including Bayesian networks with several families of local distributions, are curved exponential families ...
متن کاملFitting Graphical Interaction Models to Multivariate Time Series
Graphical interaction models have become an important tool for analysing multivariate time series. In these models, the interrelationships among the components of a time series are described by undirected graphs in which the vertices depict the components while the edges indictate possible dependencies between the components. Current methods for the identification of the graphical structure are...
متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Elastic Net Penalty for Longitudinal Data
Longitudinal studies include the important parts of epidemiological surveys, clinical trials and social studies. In longitudinal studies, measurement of the responses is conducted repeatedly through time. Often, the main goal is to characterize the change in responses over time and the factors that influence the change. Recently, to analyze this kind of data, quantile regression has been taken ...
