Abstract

Generally, learning the parameters of graphical models by using the maximum likelihood estimation is difficult and requires an approximation. Maximum composite likelihood estimations are statistical approximations of the maximum likelihood estimation and are higher-order generalizations of the maximum pseudo-likelihood estimation. In this paper, we propose a composite likelihood method and investigate its properties. Furthermore, we apply this to restricted Boltzmann machines.
