prox_gradient_mapping: Proximal-gradient mapping method.

Description

Performs the proximal-gradient mapping operation to estimate a regularized version of the inverse cov. matrix. Follows the procedure described in, http://dept.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~yvesa/sto_prox.pdf

Usage

prox_gradient_mapping(data, theta_start, update_w, update_change, regularizer,
  max_iter, tol)

Arguments

data

N x P matrix corresponding to the raw data.

theta_start

Initial value for precision estimate.

update_w

Step size for prox-gradient mapping.

update_change

Proportion of update_w to keep when the algorithm fails to successfully estimate precision.

regularizer

Regularizing constant, lambda.

max_iter

Number of mapping iterations.

tol

Tolerance at which the algorithm stops running.

Value

Theta (precision matrix) estimate.
