Maximum Likelihood Identification of an Information Matrix Under Constraints in a Corresponding Graphical Model

We address the problem of identifying the neighborhood structure of an undirected graph, whose nodes are labeled with the elements of a multivariate normal (MVN) random vector. A semi-definite program is given for estimating the information matrix under arbitrary constraints on its elements. More i...
