The Construction of Multivariate Distributions from Markov Random Fields
We address the problem of constructing and identifying a valid joint probability density function from a set of specified conditional densities. The approach taken is based on the development of relations between the joint and the conditional densities using Markov random fields (MRFs). We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the support sets of the random variables to allow these relat...
متن کاملMultivariate Generalized Laplace Distributions and Related Random Fields
Multivariate Laplace distribution is an important stochastic model that accounts for asymmetry and heavier than Gaussian tails often observed in practical data, while still ensuring the existence of the second moments. A Lévy process based on this multivariate infinitely divisible distribution is known as Laplace motion, and its marginal distributions are multivariate generalized Laplace laws. ...
متن کاملRandom Multivariate Multimodal Distributions
Bayesian nonparametric inference for unimodal and multimodal random probability measures on a finite dimensional Euclidean space is examined. After a short discussion on several concepts of multivatiate unimodality, we introduce and study a new class of nonparametric prior distributions on the subspace of random multivariate multimodal distributions. This class in a way generalizes the very res...
متن کاملMarkov Random Fields and Conditional Random Fields
Markov chains provided us with a way to model 1D objects such as contours probabilistically, in a way that led to nice, tractable computations. We now consider 2D Markov models. These are more powerful, but not as easy to compute with. In addition we will consider two additional issues. First, we will consider adding observations to our models. These observations are conditioned on the value of...
متن کاملFrom Markov Random Fields to Associative Memories and Back: Spin-Glass Markov Random Fields
In this paper we propose a fully connected energy function for Markov Random Field (MRF) modeling which is inspired by Spin-Glass Theory (SGT). Two major tasks in MRF modeling are how to define the neighborhood system for irregular sites and how to choose the energy function for a proper encoding of constraints. The proposed energy function offers two major advantages that makes it possible to ...
