A common challenge in estimating parameters of probability density functions is the intractability of the normalizing constant. While in such cases maximum likelihood estimation may be implemented using numerical integration, the approach becomes computationally intensive. In contrast, the score matching method of Hyvarinen (2005) avoids direct calculation of the normalizing constant and yields closed-form estimates for exponential families of continuous distributions over $mathbb{R}^m$. Hyvarinen (2007) extended the approach to distributions supported on the non-negative orthant $mathbb{R}_+^m$. In this paper, we give a generalized form of score matching for non-negative data that improves estimation efficiency. We also generalize the regularized score matching method of Lin et al. (2016) for non-negative Gaussian graphical models, with improved theoretical guarantees.

putationally intensive.

Hyvarinen [2007] extended the approach to distributions supported on the non-negative orthant, $mathbb{R}_+^m$. In this paper, we give a generalized form of score matching for non-negative data that improves estimation efficiency. As an example, we consider a general class of pairwise interaction models. Addressing an overlooked inexistence problem, we generalize the regularized score matching method of Lin et al. [2016] and improve its theoretical guarantees for non-negative Gaussian graphical models.
Applications such as the analysis of microbiome data have led to renewed interest in statistical methods for compositional data, i.e., multivariate data in the form of probability vectors that contain relative proportions. In particular, there is con
siderable interest in modeling interactions among such relative proportions. To this end we propose a class of exponential family models that accommodate general patterns of pairwise interaction while being supported on the probability simplex. Special cases include the family of Dirichlet distributions as well as Aitchisons additive logistic normal distributions. Generally, the distributions we consider have a density that features a difficult to compute normalizing constant. To circumvent this issue, we design effective estimation methods based on generaliz
Estimation of density functions supported on general domains arises when the data is naturally restricted to a proper subset of the real space. This problem is complicated by typically intractable normalizing constants. Score matching provides a powe
rful tool for estimating densities with such intractable normalizing constants, but as originally proposed is limited to densities on $mathbb{R}^m$ and $mathbb{R}_+^m$. In this paper, we offer a natural generalization of score matching that accommodates densities supported on a very general class of domains. We apply the framework to truncated graphical and pairwise interaction models, and provide theoretical guarantees for the resulting estimators. We also generalize a recently proposed method from bounded to unbounded domains, and empirically demonstrate the advantages of our method.
Graphical models express conditional independence relationships among variables. Although methods for vector-valued data are well established, functional data graphical models remain underdeveloped. We introduce a notion of conditional independence b
etween random functions, and construct a framework for Bayesian inference of undirected, decomposable graphs in the multivariate functional data context. This framework is based on extending Markov distributions and hyper Markov laws from random variables to random processes, providing a principled alternative to naive application of multivariate methods to discretized functional data. Markov properties facilitate the composition of likelihoods and priors according to the decomposition of a graph. Our focus is on Gaussian process graphical models using orthogonal basis expansions. We propose a hyper-inverse-Wishart-process prior for the covariance kernels of the infinite coefficient sequences of the basis expansion, establish existence, uniqueness, strong hyper Markov property, and conjugacy. Stochastic search Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms are developed for posterior inference, assessed through simulations, and applied to a study of brain activity and alcoholism.
Recent advance in diffusion models incorporates the Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE), which brings the state-of-the art performance on image generation tasks. This paper improves such diffusion models by analyzing the model at the zero diffusio
n time. In real datasets, the score function diverges as the diffusion time ($t$) decreases to zero, and this observation leads an argument that the score estimation fails at $t=0$ with any neural network structure. Subsequently, we introduce Unbounded Diffusion Model (UDM) that resolves the score diverging problem with an easily applicable modification to any diffusion models. Additionally, we introduce a new SDE that overcomes the theoretic and practical limitations of Variance Exploding SDE. On top of that, the introduced Soft Truncation method improves the sample quality by mitigating the loss scale issue that happens at $t=0$. We further provide a theoretic result of the proposed method to uncover the behind mechanism of the diffusion models.
