报告摘要:

Modeling the covariance matrix of multiple responses in longitudinal data plays a key role and is more challenging as compared to its univariate counterpart due to the presence of correlations among multiple responses. Using the modified Cholesky block decomposition, we impose an adaptive block banded structure on the Cholesky factor and sparsity on the innovation variance matrices via a novel convex hierarchical penalty and lasso penalty, respectively. The resulting adaptive block banding regularized estimator is fully data-driven and has more flexibility than regular banding estimators. An efficient alternative convex optimization algorithm is developed using ADMM algorithms. The resulting estimators are also shown to converge in an optimal rate of Frobenius norm, and row specific support recovery is established for the precision matrix. Simulations and real  data analysis show that the proposed estimator can be better able to reveal the banding sparsity pattern in the data.
