4.1 方法一

demo.m

load SP500
data = normlization(data);
S = cov(data);  %样本协方差
[X, W] = glasso_1(double(S), 0.5);
%X:sigma^(-1), W:sigma
[~, idx] = sort(info(:,3));
colormap gray
imagesc(X(idx, idx) == 0)
axis off

%% Data Normalization
function data = normlization(data)
data = bsxfun(@minus, data, mean(data));
data = bsxfun(@rdivide, data, std(data));
end

glasso_1.m

function [X, W] = glasso_1(S, lambda)
%% Graphical Lasso - Friedman et. al, Biostatistics, 2008
% Input:
%   S - 样本的协方差矩阵
%   lambda - 罚参数
% Output:
%   X - 精度矩阵    sigma^(-1)
%   W - 协方差矩阵   sigma
%%
p = size(S,1);  %数据维度
W = S + lambda * eye(p);  %W=S+λI
beta = zeros(p) - lambda * eye(p);   %β=-λI
eps = 1e-4;
finished = false(p);   %finished:p*p的逻辑0矩阵
while true
    for j = 1 : p
        idx = 1 : p; idx(j) = [];
        beta(idx, j) = lasso(W(idx, idx), S(idx, j), lambda, beta(idx, j));
        W(idx, j) = W(idx,idx) * beta(idx, j);  %W=W*β
        W(j, idx) = W(idx, j);
    end
    index = (beta == 0);
    finished(index) = (abs(W(index) - S(index)) <= lambda);
    finished(~index) = (abs(W(~index) -S(~index) + lambda * sign(beta(~index))) < eps);
    if finished
        break;
    end
end
X = zeros(p);
for j = 1 : p
    idx = 1 : p; idx(j) = [];
    X(j,j) = 1 / (W(j,j) - dot(W(idx,j), beta(idx,j)));
    X(idx, j) = -1 * X(j, j) * beta(idx,j);
end
% X = sparse(X);
end

lasso.m

function w = lasso(A, b, lambda, w)
% Lasso 
p = size(A,1);
df = A * w - b;
eps = 1e-4;
finished = false(1, p);
while true
    for j = 1 : p
        wtmp = w(j);
        w(j) = soft(wtmp - df(j) / A(j,j), lambda / A(j,j));
        if w(j) ~= wtmp
            df = df + (w(j) - wtmp) * A(:, j); % update df
        end
    end
    index = (w == 0);
    finished(index) = (abs(df(index)) <= lambda);
    finished(~index) = (abs(df(~index) + lambda * sign(w(~index))) < eps);
    if finished
        break;
    end
end
end
%% Soft thresholding
function x = soft(x, lambda)
x = sign(x) * max(0, abs(x) - lambda);
end

结果

注意：罚参数lamda的设定对逆协方差的稀疏性的影响很大，可以用交叉验证方式得到。

4.2 方法二

graphicalLasso.m

function [Theta, W] = graphicalLasso(S, rho, maxIt, tol)

% Solve the graphical Lasso
% minimize_{Theta > 0} tr(S*Theta) - logdet(Theta) + rho * ||Theta||_1
% Ref: Friedman et al. (2007) Sparse inverse covariance estimation with the
% graphical lasso. Biostatistics.
% Note: This function needs to call an algorithm that solves the Lasso
% problem. Here, we choose to use to the function *lassoShooting* (shooting
% algorithm) for this purpose. However, any Lasso algorithm in the
% penelized form will work.
%
% Input:
% S -- sample covariance matrix
% rho --  regularization parameter
% maxIt -- maximum number of iterations
% tol -- convergence tolerance level

        b = lassoShooting(X, Y, rho, maxIt, tol);
        W(jminus,j) = W(jminus,jminus) * b;

end

i = 0;

% Precompute X'X and X'Y
XTX = X'*X;

% Shooting loop

        jminus = setdiff(1:p,j);
        S0 = XTX(j,jminus)*b(jminus) - XTY(j);  % S0 = X(:,j)'*(X(:,jminus)*b(jminus)-Y)
        if S0 > lambda,
            b(j) = (lambda-S0) / norm(X(:,j),2)^2;
        elseif S0 < -lambda,
            b(j) = -(lambda+S0) / norm(X(:,j),2)^2;
        else
            b(j) = 0;
        end
    end
    delta = norm(b-b_old,1);    % Norm change during successive iterations
