admm.tv: Total Variation Minimization

In ADMM: Algorithms using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers

Description

1-dimensional total variation minimization - also known as signal denoising - is to solve the following

\textrm{min}_x ~ \frac{1}{2}\|x-b\|_2^2 + λ ∑_i |x_{i+1}-x_i|

for a given signal b. The implementation is borrowed from Stephen Boyd's MATLAB code.

Usage

admm.tv(
  b,
  lambda = 1,
  xinit = NA,
  rho = 1,
  alpha = 1,
  abstol = 1e-04,
  reltol = 0.01,
  maxiter = 1000
)

Arguments

b	a length-m response vector
lambda	regularization parameter
xinit	a length-m vector for initial value
rho	an augmented Lagrangian parameter
alpha	an overrelaxation parameter in [1,2]
abstol	absolute tolerance stopping criterion
reltol	relative tolerance stopping criterion
maxiter	maximum number of iterations

Value

a named list containing

x

a length-m solution vector

history

dataframe recording iteration numerics. See the section for more details.

Iteration History

When you run the algorithm, output returns not only the solution, but also the iteration history recording following fields over iterates,

objval

object (cost) function value

r_norm

norm of primal residual

s_norm

norm of dual residual

eps_pri

feasibility tolerance for primal feasibility condition

eps_dual

feasibility tolerance for dual feasibility condition

In accordance with the paper, iteration stops when both r_norm and s_norm values become smaller than eps_pri and eps_dual, respectively.

Examples

## generate sample data
x1 = as.vector(sin(1:100)+0.1*rnorm(100))
x2 = as.vector(cos(1:100)+0.1*rnorm(100)+5)
x3 = as.vector(sin(1:100)+0.1*rnorm(100)+2.5)
xsignal = c(x1,x2,x3)

## run example
output  = admm.tv(xsignal)

## visualize
opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE)
plot(1:300, xsignal, type="l", main="TV Regularization")
lines(1:300, output$x, col="red", lwd=2)
par(opar)
