Post-processed posteriors for sparse covariances
稀疏协方差矩阵的后处理后验
We consider Bayesian inference of sparse covariance matrices and propose a post-processed posterior. This method consists of two steps. In the first step, posterior samples are obtained from the conjugate inverse-Wishart posterior without considering the sparse structural assumption. The posterior samples are transformed in the second step to satisfy the sparse structural assumption through a generalized thresholding function. This non-traditional Bayesian procedure is…
