  • Patent number: 11694097
    Abstract: By the abovementioned technical solutions, the present disclosure provides optimizing a vector autoregressive model conforming to structural constraints of sparsity and acyclicity. A regularization term is introduced to the model to impose the sparsity structural constraint such that most off-diagonal coefficients of an autoregressive coefficient matrix are forced to zero values. One or more penalty terms are introduced to the model to impose the acyclicity structural constraint such that coefficients of the main diagonal are not causally self-related. The resulting model is then reformulated for computation as an augmented Lagrangian function, and further computed for different parameters in alternating iterations to make the computations tractable and within magnitude and precision limits of digital computers.
