Algorithms for Single and Multiple Graphical Lasso problems.
Project description
GGLasso
This package contains algorithms for solving General Graphical Lasso (GGLasso) problems, including single, multiple, as well as latent
Graphical Lasso problems.
Getting started
Install via pip/conda
The package is available on pip and conda and can be installed with
pip install gglasso
or
conda install -c conda-forge gglasso
Install from source
Alternatively, you can install the package from source using the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/fabian-sp/GGLasso.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py
Test your installation with
pytest gglasso/ -v
Advanced options
If you want to create a conda environment with full development dependencies (for building docs, testing etc), run:
conda env create -f environment.yml
If you wish to install gglasso
in developer mode, i.e. not having to reinstall gglasso
everytime the source code changes (either by remote or local changes), run
python setup.py clean --all develop clean --all
The glasso_problem
class
GGLasso
can solve multiple problem forumulations, e.g. single and multiple Graphical Lasso problems as well as with and without latent factors. Therefore, the main entry point for the user is the glasso_problem
class which chooses automatically the correct solver and model selection functionality. See our documentation for all the details.
Algorithms
GGLasso
contains algorithms for solving a multitude of Graphical Lasso problem formulations. For all the details, we refer to the solver overview in our documentation.
The package includes solvers for the following problems:
-
Single Graphical Lasso
-
Group and Fused Graphical Lasso
We implemented the ADMM (see [2] and [3]) and a proximal point algorithm (see [4]). -
Non-conforming Group Graphical Lasso
A Group Graphical Lasso problem where not all variables exist in all instances/datasets. -
Functional Graphical Lasso
A variant of Graphical Lasso where each variables has a functional representation (e.g. by Fourier coefficients).
Moreover, for all problem formulation the package allows to model latent variables (Latent variable Graphical Lasso) in order to estimate a precision matrix of type sparse - low rank.
