New algorithms offer signal-optimal learning for Gaussian graphical models

Researchers have developed two novel algorithms for learning Gaussian graphical models from data generated by a single trajectory of a dependent stochastic process, specifically random-scan Gaussian Glauber dynamics. These algorithms are designed to be mixing-free and achieve signal-optimal performance, addressing limitations of existing methods that are often tied to the chain's mixing time or are suboptimal in edge strength. The first algorithm uses least-squares regression on node updates and requires approximately $O(pd^2/ ext{kappa}^2)$ updates, while the second relies on counting specific update patterns and needs $O(pd^4/ ext{kappa}^2)$ updates, offering guarantees without dependence on condition numbers.

    Mixing-Free and Signal-Optimal Learning of Gaussian Graphical Models from Glauber Dynamics

    arXiv:2607.18559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Gaussian graphical model selection is usually studied under independent sampling, but in many applications the data arise as a single trajectory of a dependent stochastic process. We study exact recovery of the graph from one traj…
