huge - High-Dimensional Undirected Graph Estimation
Provides a general framework for high-dimensional
undirected graph estimation. It integrates data preprocessing,
neighborhood screening, graph estimation, and model selection
techniques into a pipeline. In preprocessing stage, the
nonparanormal(npn) transformation is applied to help relax the
normality assumption. In the graph estimation stage, the graph
structure is estimated by Meinshausen-Buhlmann graph
estimation, the graphical lasso, or the TIGER
(tuning-insensitive graph estimation and regression) method,
and the first two can be further accelerated by the lossy
screening rule preselecting the neighborhood of each variable
by correlation thresholding. We target on high-dimensional data
analysis usually d >> n, and the computation is
memory-optimized using the sparse matrix output. We also
provide a computationally efficient approach, correlation
thresholding graph estimation. Three
regularization/thresholding parameter selection methods are
included in this package: (1)stability approach for
regularization selection (2) rotation information criterion (3)
extended Bayesian information criterion which is only available
for the graphical lasso.
