Inferring large graphs using _1-penalized likelihood

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1704026




Abstract: We address the issue of recovering the structure of large sparse directed acyclic graphs from noisy observations of the system. We propose a novel procedure based on a specific formulation of the l1-norm regularized maximum likelihood, which decomposes the graph estimation into two optimization sub-problems: topological structure and node order learning. We provide oracle inequalities for the graph estimator, as well as an algorithm to solve the induced optimization problem, in the form of a convex program embedded in a genetic algorithm. We apply our method to various data sets (including data from the DREAM4 challenge) and show that it compares favorably to state-of-the-art methods.
