Abstract
The modified Cholesky decomposition (MCD) method is commonly used in precision matrix estimation assuming that the random variables have a specified order. In this paper, we develop a permutation-based refitted cross validation (PRCV) estimation procedure for ultrahigh dimensional precision matrix based on the MCD, which does not rely on the order of variables. The consistency of the proposed estimator is established under the Frobenius norm without normal distribution assumption. Simulation studies present satisfactory performance of in various scenarios. The proposed method is also applied to analyze a real data. We provide the complete code at https://github.com/lwfwhunanhero/PRCV.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference offers itself as a multifaceted and all-inclusive bridge between classical aspects of statistics and probability, and the emerging interdisciplinary aspects that have a potential of revolutionizing the subject. While we maintain our traditional strength in statistical inference, design, classical probability, and large sample methods, we also have a far more inclusive and broadened scope to keep up with the new problems that confront us as statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.
We publish high quality articles in all branches of statistics, probability, discrete mathematics, machine learning, and bioinformatics. We also especially welcome well written and up to date review articles on fundamental themes of statistics, probability, machine learning, and general biostatistics. Thoughtful letters to the editors, interesting problems in need of a solution, and short notes carrying an element of elegance or beauty are equally welcome.
