We introduce a mixture-model of beta distributions to identify significant correlations among P predictors when P is large. The method relies on theorems in convex geometry, which we use to show how to control the error rate of edge detection in graphical models. Our `betaMix' method does not require any assumptions about the network structure, nor does it assume that the network is sparse. The results in this article hold for a wide class of data generating distributions that include light-tailed and heavy-tailed spherically symmetric distributions.
