Identification of Strong Edges in AMP Chain Graphs

نویسنده

Jose M. Peña

چکیده

The essential graph is a distinguished member of a Markov equivalence class of AMP chain graphs. However, the directed edges in the essential graph are not necessarily strong or invariant, i.e. they may not be shared by every member of the equivalence class. Likewise for the undirected edges. In this paper, we develop a procedure for identifying which edges in an essential graph are strong. We also show how this makes it possible to bound some causal effects when the true chain graph is unknown.

Marginal AMP Chain Graphs

We present a new family of graphical models that may have undirected, directed and bidirected edges. We name these new models marginal AMP (MAMP) chain graphs because each of them can be seen as the result of marginalizing out some nodes in an AMP chain graph. However, MAMP chain graphs do not only subsume AMP chain graphs but also regression chain graphs. We describe global and local Markov pr...

Learning Marginal AMP Chain Graphs under Faithfulness

Marginal AMP chain graphs are a recently introduced family of models that is based on graphs that may have undirected, directed and bidirected edges. They unify and generalize the AMP and the multivariate regression interpretations of chain graphs. In this paper, we present a constraint based algorithm for learning a marginal AMP chain graph from a probability distribution which is faithful to ...

New skew equienergetic oriented graphs

Let $S(G^{sigma})$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of the oriented graph $G^{sigma}$, which is obtained from a simple undirected graph $G$ by assigning an orientation $sigma$ to each of its edges. The skew energy of an oriented graph $G^{sigma}$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues of $S(G^{sigma})$. Two oriented graphs are said to be skew equienergetic iftheir skew energies...

Balanced Degree-Magic Labelings of Complete Bipartite Graphs under Binary Operations

A graph is called supermagic if there is a labeling of edges where the edges are labeled with consecutive distinct positive integers such that the sum of the labels of all edges incident with any vertex is constant. A graph G is called degree-magic if there is a labeling of the edges by integers 1, 2, ..., |E(G)| such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with any vertex v is equal t...
