“…Type-I approaches measure first-order differences between modeled and reconstructed time series using variants of the MSE, while Type-II approaches amount to using the log-det Bregman divergence to measure differences in the second-order statistics of the empirically observed and modeled data as summarized in the respective covariance matrices. While the connection between the Type-II loss function and the log-det Bregman divergence has been investigated and exploited in numerous forms such as Stein's loss [50] or the graphical Lasso [77], [84], [85], and has found applications in disciplines such as information theory and metric learning [86], [87], wireless communication [21], and signal processing [26], [88], [89], it has not received much attention in the May 17, 2021 DRAFT BSI literature to the best of authors' knowledge. Here, we have used this insight to devise a novel cross-validation scheme, temporal CV, in which model fit is measured in terms of the log-det Bregman divergence (or, Type-II likelihood) on held-out samples.…”
