Learning Structural Changes of Gaussian Graphical Models in Controlled Experiments

Graphical models are widely used in scientific and engineering research to represent conditional independence structures between random variables. In many controlled experiments, environmental changes or external stimuli can often alter the conditional dependence between the random variables,and potentially produce signi cant structural changes in the corresponding graphical models. Therefore, it is of great importance to be able to detect such structural changes from data,so as to gain novel insights into where and how the structural changes take place and help the system adapt to the new environment. Here we report an effective learning strategy to extract structural changes in Gaussian graphical model using 1-regularization based convex optimization.We discuss the properties of the problem for mulation and introduce an e cient imple mentation by the block coordinate descent algorithm. We demonstrate the principle of the approach on a numerical simulation experiment, and we then apply the algorithm to the modeling of gene regulatory networks under di erent conditions and obtain promising yet biologically plausible results.
