Abstract:
|
High-dimensional data with complex structure have become pervasive in many areas of science and engineering. The problem of precision matrix estimation in a multivariate Gaussian model is one such methodological problem, fundamental for network estimation. Although there exist both Bayesian and frequentist approaches, it is difficult to obtain good Bayesian and frequentist properties under the same prior-penalty dual, complicating justification. In this talk, I will briefly review recent developments in precision matrix estimation using global-local shrinkage priors and propose possible solutions that lead to a prior-penalty dual that offers fully Bayesian uncertainty quantification as well as computationally efficient penalized likelihood estimators.
