Research Type Experimental We theoretically analyze the typical learning performance of ℓ1-regularized linear regression (ℓ1-Lin R) for Ising model selection using the replica method from statistical mechanics. For typical random regular graphs in the paramagnetic phase, an accurate estimate of the typical sample complexity of ℓ1-Lin R is obtained. Remarkably, despite the model misspecification, ℓ1-Lin R is model selection consistent with the same order of sample complexity as ℓ1-regularized logistic regression (ℓ1-Log R), i.e., M = O (log N), where N is the number of variables of the Ising model. Moreover, we provide an efficient method to accurately predict the nonasymptotic behavior of ℓ1-Lin R for moderate M, N, such as precision and recall. Simulations show a fairly good agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental results, even for graphs with many loops, which supports our findings.
