Consistent inference of a general model using the pseudo-likelihood method

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Recently maximum pseudo-likelihood (MPL) inference method has been successfully applied to statistical physics models with intractable likelihoods. We use information theory to derive a relation between the pseudo-likelihood and likelihood functions. We use this relation to show consistency of the pseudo-likelihood method for a general model.
