theoryRowpenUpperBoundDiagA {jointMeanCov}

Penalty Parameter for Covariance Estimation Based on Theory

Description

This function returns a theoretically-guided choice of the glasso penalty parameter, treating the column correlation matrix as the identity.

Usage

theoryRowpenUpperBoundDiagA(B, n1, n2, m)

Arguments

B

row covariance matrix.

n1

sample size of group one.

n2

sample size of group two.

m

number of columns of the data matrix (where the data matrix is of size n by m, with n = n1 + n2).

Value

Returns a theoretically guided choice of the glasso penalty parameter.

Examples

# Define sample sizes
n1 <- 10
n2 <- 10
n <- n1 + n2
m <- 2e3
# Row covariance matrix (autoregressive of order 1)
B <- outer(1:n, 1:n, function(x, y) 0.8^abs(x - y))
# Calculate theoretically guided Gemini penalty.
