We propose methodology for statistical inference for low-dimensional parameters of sparse precision matrices in a high-dimensional setting. Our method leads to a non-sparse estimator of the precision matrix whose entries have a Gaussian…

This paper considers regularizing a covariance matrix of $p$ variables estimated from $n$ observations, by hard thresholding. We show that the thresholded estimate is consistent in the operator norm as long as the true covariance matrix is…

A number of recent works have proposed to solve the line spectral estimation problem by applying off-the-grid extensions of sparse estimation techniques. These methods are preferable over classical line spectral estimation algorithms…

Clustering analysis is one of the most widely used statistical tools in many emerging areas such as microarray data analysis. For microarray and other high-dimensional data, the presence of many noise variables may mask underlying…

The solution of sparse symmetric positive definite linear systems is an important computational kernel in large-scale scientific and engineering modeling and simulation. We will solve the linear systems using a direct method, in which a…

This paper investigates the high-dimensional linear regression with highly correlated covariates. In this setup, the traditional sparsity assumption on the regression coefficients often fails to hold, and consequently many model selection…

This work presents a new variation of the commonly used Least Mean Squares Algorithm (LMS) for the identification of sparse signals with an a-priori known sparsity using a hard threshold operator in every iteration. It examines some useful…

We consider the problem of simultaneous variable selection and estimation in partially linear models with a divergent number of covariates in the linear part, under the assumption that the vector of regression coefficients is sparse. We…

High-dimensional sparse modeling via regularization provides a powerful tool for analyzing large-scale data sets and obtaining meaningful, interpretable models. The use of nonconvex penalty functions shows advantage in selecting important…

Sparsity in the eigenvectors of signal covariance matrices is exploited in this paper for compression and denoising. Dimensionality reduction (DR) and quantization modules present in many practical compression schemes such as transform…

In this paper an approach for finding a sparse incomplete Cholesky factor through an incomplete orthogonal factorization with Givens rotations is discussed and applied to Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRFs). The incomplete Cholesky factor…

Estimation of a sparse spectral precision matrix, the inverse of a spectral density matrix, is a canonical problem in frequency-domain analysis of high-dimensional time series (HDTS), with applications in neurosciences and environmental…

An improved version of the sparse multiway kernel spectral clustering (KSC) is presented in this brief. The original algorithm is derived from weighted kernel principal component (KPCA) analysis formulated within the primal-dual…

We study the estimation of a high dimensional approximate factor model in the presence of both cross sectional dependence and heteroskedasticity. The classical method of principal components analysis (PCA) does not efficiently estimate the…

Many high dimensional classification techniques have been proposed in the literature based on sparse linear discriminant analysis (LDA). To efficiently use them, sparsity of linear classifiers is a prerequisite. However, this might not be…

Anomalies and outliers are common in real-world data, and they can arise from many sources, such as sensor faults. Accordingly, anomaly detection is important both for analyzing the anomalies themselves and for cleaning the data for further…

A constrained L1 minimization method is proposed for estimating a sparse inverse covariance matrix based on a sample of $n$ iid $p$-variate random variables. The resulting estimator is shown to enjoy a number of desirable properties. In…

Last decade witnesses significant methodological and theoretical advances in estimating large precision matrices. In particular, there are scientific applications such as longitudinal data, meteorology and spectroscopy in which the ordering…

Many popular statistical models, such as factor and random effects models, give arise a certain type of covariance structures that is a summation of low rank and sparse matrices. This paper introduces a penalized approximation framework to…

We show that Laplacian and symmetric diagonally dominant (SDD) matrices can be well approximated by linear-sized sparse Cholesky factorizations. We show that these matrices have constant-factor approximations of the form $L L^{T}$, where…
