FMGL: a MATLAB package for Fused Multiple Graphical Lasso
Yangjing Zhang, Ning Zhang, Defeng Sun, Kim-Chuan Toh
The software was first released on September 2020.
The software is designed to solve fused multiple graphical lasso (FMGL) problems of the following form given input data \(S=(S^{(1)},\ldots,S^{(L)})\)
$$
\min\Big\{ \sum_{l=1}^L \Big(-\log {\rm det} \Theta^{(l)} + \langle S^{(l)}, \Theta^{(l)} \rangle\Big) + P(\Theta)\mid \Theta = \big(\Theta^{(1)},\ldots,\Theta^{(L)}\big)\in
\mathbb{S}^p\times \cdots\times \mathbb{S}^p\Big\}
$$
where \(
P(\Theta) = \lambda_1\,\sum_{l=1}^L \sum_{i\not=j} \left| \Theta^{(l)}_{ij}\right| + \lambda_2\,\sum_{l=2}^L \sum_{i\not=j}\left| \Theta^{(l)}_{ij} – \Theta^{(l-1)}_{ij} \right|
\)
and \(\lambda_1\) and \(\lambda_2\) are positive regularization parameters. The dual problem is given by
$$
-\min \Big\{\sum_{l=1}^{L} ( -\log{\rm det}(X^{(l)}) – p ) + P^*(X-S) \mid X=(X^{(1)},\ldots,X^{(L)})\Big\}
$$
where \(P^*(\cdot)\) denotes the conjugate function of \(P\).
