Dependence Structure Estimation via Copula
Dependence strucuture estimation is one of the important problems in machine learning domain and has many applications in different scientific areas. In this paper, a theoretical framework for such estimation based on copula and copula entropy -- the probabilistic theory of representation and measurement of statistical dependence, is proposed. Graphical models are considered as a special case of the copula framework. A method of the framework for estimating maximum spanning copula is proposed. Due to copula, the method is irrelevant to the properties of individual variables, insensitive to outlier and able to deal with non-Gaussianity. Experiments on both simulated data and real dataset demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
