Learning Quasi-Kronecker Product Graphical Models

Optimization and Control 2019-01-31 v1

Abstract

We consider the problem of learning graphical models where the support of the concentration matrix can be decomposed as a Kronecker product. We propose a method that uses the Bayesian hierarchical learning modeling approach. Thanks to the particular structure of the graph, we use a the number of hyperparameters which is small compared to the number of nodes in the graphical model. In this way, we avoid overfitting in the estimation of the hyperparameters. Finally, we test the effectiveness of the proposed method by a numerical example.
