Learning conditional independence structure for high-dimensional uncorrelated vector processes

13 Sep 2016  ·  Nguyen Tran Quang, Alexander Jung ·

We formulate and analyze a graphical model selection method for inferring the conditional independence graph of a high-dimensional nonstationary Gaussian random process (time series) from a finite-length observation. The observed process samples are assumed uncorrelated over time and having a time-varying marginal distribution. The selection method is based on testing conditional variances obtained for small subsets of process components. This allows to cope with the high-dimensional regime, where the sample size can be (drastically) smaller than the process dimension. We characterize the required sample size such that the proposed selection method is successful with high probability.
