Abstract:
|
Precision matrices are widely used to depict the dependence structure within a network in many applications. We propose a semiparametric method to estimate dynamic precision matrices in the high-dimensional setting. Our method for dynamic network estimation combines not only possesses the flexibility to characterize the changing precision matrix, but also provide robust inference under various distribution assumptions. An efficient algorithm via linear programming is developed to implement the method. We demonstrate the performance and advantages of the proposed method with extensive numerical studies.
