select.cglasso: Model Selection for the Conditional Graphical Lasso Estimator

In cglasso: Conditional Graphical LASSO for Gaussian Graphical Models with Censored and Missing Values

Model Selection for the Conditional Graphical Lasso Estimator

Description

‘select_cglasso’ returns the optimal fitted model selected by a chosen measure of goodness-of-fit.

Usage

select_cglasso(object, GoF = AIC, ...)

Arguments

object	an R object of class cglasso.
GoF	a valid goodness-of-fit function, such as AIC.cglasso or BIC.cglasso, or an R object of class ‘GoF’.
...	further arguments passed to the chosen goodness-of-fit function (argument ‘GoF’).

Details

The function select_cglasso evaluates the goodness-of-fit of the models fitted by cglasso and extracts the selected model.

Model evaluation can be made in two ways. The easiest way is to use a valid goodness-of-fit function, such as AIC.cglasso or BIC.cglasso. In this case, further arguments are passed to these functions by ‘...’. The second way consists on passing the output of a goodness-of-fit function, that is, an R object of class ‘GoF’. Usually, this approach is preferable when the computation of the chosen goodness-of-fit measure is time-consuming, such as when the sample size is small relative to the number of parameters and the AIC or BIC functions are used to evaluate a long sequence of fitted models. In these cases, we suggest the computation of several measures of goodness-of-fit in a preliminary step and then the use of the select_cglasso function in a subsequent step to select the optimal fitted model.

Value

‘select_cglasso’ returns the optimal fitted model.
