Conditional independence and chain event graphs
Graphs provide an excellent framework for interrogating symmetric models of measurement random variables and discovering their implied conditional independence structure. However, it is not unusual for a model to be specified from a description of how a process unfolds (i.e. via its event tree), rather than through relationships between a given set of measurements. Here we introduce a new mixed...
متن کاملDynamic Conditional Independence Models and Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
In dynamic statistical modeling situations, observations arise sequentially, causing the model to expand by progressive incorporation of new data items and new unknown parameters. For example, in clinical monitoring, new patient-speci c parameters are introduced with each new patient. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) might be used for posterior inference, but would need to be redone at each expa...
متن کاملPropositional Independence Conditional independence
Independence – the study of what is relevant to a given problem of reasoning – is an important AI topic. In this paper, we investigate several notions of conditional independence in propositional logic: Darwiche and Pearl’s conditional independence, and two more restricted forms of it, called strong conditional independence and perfect conditional independence. Many characterizations and proper...
متن کاملPropagation using Chain Event Graphs
A Chain Event Graph (CEG) is a graphial model which designed to embody conditional independencies in problems whose state spaces are highly asymmetric and do not admit a natural product structure. In this paer we present a probability propagation algorithm which uses the topology of the CEG to build a transporter CEG. Intriungly,the transporter CEG is directly analogous to the triangulated Baye...
متن کاملConditional independence, conditional mixing and conditional association
Some properties of conditionally independent random variables are studied. Conditional versions of generalized Borel-Cantelli lemma, generalized Kolmogorov’s inequality and generalized Hájek-Rényi inequality are proved. As applications, a conditional version of the strong law of large numbers for conditionally independent random variables and a conditional version of the Kolmogorov’s strong law...
