A Bayesian approach for partial Gaussian graphical models with sparsity
Abstract
We explore various Bayesian approaches to estimate partial Gaussian graphical models. Our hierarchical structures enable to deal with single-output as well as multiple-output linear regressions, in small or high dimension, enforcing either no sparsity, sparsity, group sparsity or even sparse-group sparsity for a bi-level selection through partial correlations (direct links) between predictors and responses, thanks to spike-and-slab priors corresponding to each setting. Adaptative and global shrinkages are also incorporated in the Bayesian modeling of the direct links. An existing result for model selection consistency is reformulated to stick to our sparse and group-sparse settings, providing a theoretical guarantee under some technical assumptions. Gibbs samplers are developed and a simulation study shows the efficiency of our models which give very competitive results, especially in terms of support recovery. To conclude, a real dataset is investigated.
