Abstract:

High dimensional covariance estimation is useful in many applications. In particular, in biomedical application the analysis of high throughput data involves identifying relationships between genes and such analysis can provide useful insights into disease mechanisms. In this talk, we present a penalized likelihood procedure for high dimensional sparse covariance estimation and analyze some of its theoretical properties. Both real and simulated data will be used to show the utility of this procedure.
