An effective approach to structure learning and parameter estimation for Gaussian graphical models is to impose a sparsity prior, such as a Laplace prior, on the entries of the precision matrix. We introduce a parameter-free method for estimating a precision matrix with sparsity that adapts to the data automatically, achieved by formulating a hierarchical Bayesian model of the precision matrix with a non-informative Jeffreys' hyperprior. We also naturally enforce the symmetry and positive-definiteness constraints on the precision matrix by parameterizing it with the Cholesky decomposition.
