TL;DR: This blog post summarizes and discusses Information Filtering Networks introduced in a new paper by Christensen et al. 2018, and discusses them compared to the lasso-regularized Markov Random Fields. The post ends with an R tutorial on how to estimate such networks. Markov Random Fields (MRF) have quickly become …
