Pseudocode No The paper describes its algorithm in prose within Section 4, but does not present it as a structured pseudocode or algorithm block.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statements about the release of its source code or links to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes This dataset was downloaded from http://www.kibot.com/.
Dataset Splits Yes We use the data collected in February 2010 as training data and data from March 2010 as held out data for tuning parameter selection.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using 'glasso' and 'two step estimator' but does not provide specific version numbers for these or any other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes For this experiment we set p = 50 and n {100, 200, 500} and varied the regularization parameter λ from 10 2 to 1. To fit the data to the non parametric model (3), we used cosine basis and truncated the basis expansion to top 30 terms.
