Abstract

We obtain the almost sure strong consistency and the Berry-Esseen type bound for the maximum likelihood estimator Ln of the ensemble L for determinantal point processes (DPPs), strengthening and completing previous work initiated in Brunel, Moitra, Rigollet, and Urschel [BMRU17]. Numerical algorithms of estimating DPPs are developed and simulation studies are performed. Lastly, we give explicit formula and a detailed discussion for the maximum likelihood estimator for blocked determinantal matrix of two by two submatrices and compare it with the frequency method.
