Assumptions

定义一个观测到的相似度矩阵,矩阵里的值可以是变量的关系,也可以是其他的相似度值

represents the similarity value between the observed patterns of variables i and j in the network.

We assume that the observed dependency matrix, , comprises both direct and indirect dependency effects

观测矩阵包含直接和间接依赖效应

Indirect contributions

  • Can be length 2 or higher
  • Can be multiple effects along varying paths
  • Not included Self-loops

间接影响可以是长度为2或更高,可以是沿着不同路径的多个效应,不包括自环

The power associated with each term in corresponds to the level of indirection contributed by that term. 幂次指的是间接程度

Derivation

By using the eigen decomposition principle, we have

By using the eigen decomposition of the observed network , we have , where

Linear Scaling Step

The observed dependency matrix is scaled linearly so that all eigenvalues of the direct dependency matrix are between −1 and 1.

线性缩放使所有特征值在 -1~1 之间

Decomposition Step

The observed dependency matrix Gobs is decomposed to its eigenvalues and eigenvectors such that

Where:

  • is the matrix of eigenvectors,
  • is a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues of ,
  • is the inverse of the eigenvector matrix .

将观察到的依赖矩阵分解为特征值和特征向量

Deconvolution Step

A diagonal eigenvalue matrix is formed whose component is

Then, the output direct dependency matrix is obtained as

根据公式计算 ,在把其放入对角矩阵中,最后得到直接依赖矩阵
