Abstract
Learning the parameters of graphical models using the maximum likelihood estimation is generally hard which requires an approximation. Maximum composite likelihood estimations are statistical approximations of the maximum likelihood estimation which are higher-order generalizations of the maximum pseudo-likelihood estimation. In this paper, we propose a composite likelihood method and investigate its property. Furthermore, we apply our composite likelihood method to restricted Boltzmann machines.
