...Both papers also establish that the simpler approach of Meinshausen & Bühlmann (2006) can be viewed as an approximation to the exact problem....
[...]
...Meinshausen & Bühlmann (2006) take a simple approach to this problem: they estimate a sparse graphical model by fitting a lasso model to each variable, using the others as predictors....
[...]
...As pointed out by Banerjee et al. (2007), W11 6= S11 in general and hence the Meinshausen & Bühlmann (2006) approach does not yield the maximum likelihood estimator....
[...]
...In fact if W11 = S11, then the solutions β̂ are easily seen to equal one-half of the lasso estimates for the pth variable on the others, and hence related to the Meinshausen & Bühlmann (2006) proposal....

...It also bridges the “conceptual gap” between the Meinshausen & Bühlmann (2006) proposal and the exact problem....

...The sparse scenario is the AR(1) model taken from Yuan & Lin (2007): βii = 1, βi,i−1 = βi−1,i = 0.5, and zero otherwise....

...Expression (1) is the Gaussian log-likelihood of the data, partially maximized with respect to the mean parameter µ. Yuan & Lin (2007) solve this problem using the interior point method for the “maxdet” problem, proposed by Vandenberghe et al. (1998)....

...Other authors have proposed algorithms for the exact maximization of the L1-penalized log-likelihood; both Yuan & Lin (2007) and Banerjee et al. (2007) adapt interior point optimization methods for the solution to this problem....

...The lasso problem in step (2) above can be efficiently solved by coordinate descent (Friedman et al. (2007),Wu & Lange (2007))....

...We do, to great advantage, because fast coordinate descent algorithms (Friedman et al. 2007) make solution of the lasso problem very attractive....
