A note on the statistical view of matrix completion

Machine Learning 2016-05-11 v1

Abstract

A very simple interpretation of matrix completion problem is introduced based on statistical models. Combined with the well-known results from missing data analysis, such interpretation indicates that matrix completion is still a valid and principled estimation procedure even without the missing completely at random (MCAR) assumption, which almost all of the current theoretical studies of matrix completion assume.
