| contents | Gaussian graphical models emerge in a wide range of fields. They model the statistical relationships between variables as a graph, where an edge between two variables indicates conditional dependence. Unfortunately, well-established estimators, such as the graphical lasso or neighborhood selection, are known to be susceptible to a high prevalence of false edge detections. False detections may encourage inaccurate or even incorrect scientific interpretations, with major implications in applications, such as biomedicine or healthcare. In this paper, we introduce a nodewise variable selection approach to graph learning and provably control the false discovery rate of the selected edge set at a self-estimated level. A novel fusion method of the individual neighborhoods outputs an undirected graph estimate. The proposed method is parameter-free and does not require tuning by the user. Benchmarks against competing false discovery rate controlling methods in numerical experiments considering different graph topologies show a significant gain in performance. |
