Distributed Parameter Estimation in Probabilistic Graphical Models
Yariv D Mizrahi · Misha Denil · Nando de Freitas
This paper presents foundational theoretical results on distributed parameter estimation for undirected probabilistic graphical models. It introduces a general condition on composite likelihood decompositions of these models which guarantees the global consistency of distributed estimators, provided the local estimators are consistent.
