The paper addresses joint sparsity selection in the regression coefficient matrix and the error precision (inverse covariance) matrix for high-dimensional multivariate regression models in the Bayesian paradigm. The selected sparsity patterns are crucial to help understand the network of relationships between the predictor and response variables, as well as the conditional relationships among the latter. While Bayesian methods have the advantage of providing natural uncertainty quantification through posterior inclusion probabilities and credible intervals, current Bayesian approaches either restrict to specific sub-classes of sparsity patterns and/or are not scalable to settings with hundreds of responses and predictors. Bayesian approaches which only focus on estimating the posterior mode are scalable, but do not generate samples from the posterior distribution for uncertainty quantification. Using a bi-convex regression based generalized likelihood and spike-and-slab priors, we develop an algorithm called Joint Regression Network Selector (JRNS) for joint regression and covariance selection which (a) can accommodate general sparsity patterns, (b) provides posterior samples for uncertainty quantification, and (c) is scalable and orders of magnitude faster than the state-of-the-art Bayesian approaches providing uncertainty quantification. We demonstrate the statistical and computational efficacy of the proposed approach on synthetic data and through the analysis of selected cancer data sets. We also establish high-dimensional posterior consistency for one of the developed algorithms.
