Abstract:

When using high-throughput sequencing technologies to measure gene expression, researchers are often interested in constructing a sparse network model. One popular approach, Poisson Graphical LASSO (Allen 2013), is implemented by fitting L1 penalized regression model. However, it is well known that L0 penalized regression produces a more parsimonious and accurate model, compared to L1 penalized methods. In this research we developed a new L0 based Poisson graphical model, using cyclic coordinate-wise broken adaptive ridge regression. Performance of the model is evaluated and compared with some existing methods on both simulated and real data.
