Covariance regularization by thresholding

PJ Bickel, E Levina - 2008 - projecteuclid.org
This paper considers regularizing a covariance matrix of p variables estimated from n
observations, by hard thresholding. We show that the thresholded estimate is consistent in …

Sparse permutation invariant covariance estimation

AJ Rothman, PJ Bickel, E Levina, J Zhu - 2008 - projecteuclid.org
The paper proposes a method for constructing a sparse estimator for the inverse covariance
(concentration) matrix in high-dimensional settings. The estimator uses a penalized normal …

[PDF][PDF] Structured variable selection with sparsity-inducing norms

R Jenatton, JY Audibert, F Bach - The Journal of Machine Learning …, 2011 - jmlr.org
We consider the empirical risk minimization problem for linear supervised learning, with
regularization by structured sparsity-inducing norms. These are defined as sums of …

[PDF][PDF] High dimensional inverse covariance matrix estimation via linear programming

M Yuan - The Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2010 - jmlr.org

matrix that can be well approximated by “sparse” matrices. Taking advantage of the …

Generalized thresholding of large covariance matrices

AJ Rothman, E Levina, J Zhu - Journal of the American Statistical …, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
We propose a new class of generalized thresholding operators that combine thresholding
with shrinkage, and study generalized thresholding of the sample covariance matrix in high …

Nonconcave penalized likelihood with NP-dimensionality

J Fan, J Lv - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Penalized likelihood methods are fundamental to ultrahigh dimensional variable selection.
How high dimensionality such methods can handle remains largely unknown. In this paper …
