Penalised likelihoods are often used for sparse estimation of a Gaussian precision matrix. In high dimensional settings where the matrix dimension is larger than the sample size, the sample covariance matrix $S$ is not of full rank and the maximum likelihood estimate of the precision matrix does not exist. An additional advantage of some penalised likelihood estimates, for example the graphical lasso, is that it can exist even in such high dimensional settings. This paper gives a thorough analysis of the existence of penalised likelihood estimates for positive semidefinite $S$. Specific tail conditions are provided on the diagonal and off-diagonal penalty functions that ensure existence of the estimate. This is also extended to the Bayesian setting where conditions on separable prior distributions are provided that ensure the resulting posterior distribution is proper.
正则非光滑模型的归一化最大似然:测度论基础与几何采样
The Normalized Maximum Likelihood (NML) codelength, or stochastic complexity, represents a principled criterion for universal coding. While recent coarea-based formulations provided a calculation method for smooth models, this framework collapses for the non-smooth estimators ubiquitous in modern machine learning (e.g., Lasso, Sparse SVMs). In this work, we provide a rigorous framework for computing the NML for regular path-differentiable Lipschitz (PDL) estimators. By…
改进关系事件模型:贝叶斯惩罚与变量选择
Relational Event Models (REMs) provide valuable insights into the dynamics of longitudinal social networks. Yet, the vast availability of potential predictors for a dyad's event rate poses the risk of selecting irrelevant variables and specifying an overfitted model that does not generalize to new data. Despite the recent popularity of Bayesian regularization methods to address this, there has not been a systematic evaluation of the performance of Exact Bayesian…
借助多项式逼近建立高斯经验贝叶斯的尖锐遗憾界
A central problem in the theory of empirical Bayes is to control the regret (excess risk) of a learned Bayes rule by the Hellinger distance between the estimated and true marginal densities. In the normal means model, the classical result of Jiang and Zhang (2009) achieves this only after regularizing the Bayes rule and incurs an extraneous cubic logarithmic factor through a delicate recursive argument. This paper introduces a new technique, based on polynomial approximation…
可扩展的 VARMA 模型估计
Vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) models have long been considered impractical beyond moderate dimensions: the likelihood is non-convex, the parametrization is identified only up to equivalence, and every evaluation costs a pass over the entire series. Yet their moving-average term captures with a few parameters what a pure autoregression matches only with many lags. We introduce an estimation framework that removes this computational barrier: each optimization…
XMSE 感知的自适应经验贝叶斯估计
Empirical Bayes (EB) estimators can match the first-order asymptotic risk of maximum likelihood (ML) while behaving very differently at second order: recent excess mean squared error (XMSE) analysis shows that kernel-based EB estimation may be worse than ML when the kernel is poorly aligned with the true parameter. This paper turns that diagnostic into a design principle. We propose an XMSE-aware mixed estimator that interpolates between ML and EB shrinkage. Its fixed-weight…
二项逻辑混合模型中的信息差距与可行性感知推断
This paper studies the information gap between mixture detection and label recovery in binomial logistic mixtures. Standard likelihood-based criteria such as the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) can detect the presence of two components, but this does not guarantee that the corresponding labels are recoverable. We show that this gap is intrinsic to binomial logistic mixtures with a fixed number of trials: observed-data evidence for mixture structure and per-observation…
