Abstract
The Determinantal Point Process (DPP) is a parameterized model for multivariate binary variables, characterized by a correlation kernel matrix. This paper proposes a closed form estimator of this kernel, which is particularly easy to implement and can also be used as a starting value of learning algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation. We prove the consistency and asymptotic normality of our estimator, as well as its large deviation properties.
