چکیده
The simplest method proposed by Spiegelhal-ter and Lauritzen (1990) to perform quantitative learning in ADG presents a potential weakness: the local independence assumption. We propose to alleviate this problem through the use of Hierarchical Partition Models. Our approach is compared with the previous one from an interpretative and pre-dictive point of view.

متن کاملGraphical Models and Exponential Families
We provide a classi cation of graphical models according to their representation as subfamilies of exponential families. Undirected graphical models with no hidden variables are linear exponential families (LEFs), directed acyclic graphical models and chain graphs with no hidden variables, including Bayesian networks with several families of local distributions, are curved exponential families ...
متن کاملIdentifiability assumptions for directed graphical models with feedback
Directed graphical models provide a useful framework for modeling causal or directional relationships for multivariate data. Prior work has largely focused on identifiability and search algorithms for directed acyclic graphical (DAG) models. In many applications, feedback naturally arises and directed graphical models that permit cycles arise. However theory and methodology 15 for directed grap...
متن کاملThe effects of the violation of local independence assumption on the person measures under the Rasch model
Local independence of test items is an assumption in all Item Response Theory (IRT) models. That is, the items in a test should not be related to each other. Sharing a common passage, which is prevalent in reading comprehension tests, cloze tests and C-Tests, can be a potential source of local item dependence (LID). It is argued in the literature that LID results in biased parameter estimation ...
متن کاملA note on nonsymmetric independence models
In probability and statistics graphs are used to describe conditional independence structures (or analogously dependence/association structures) among the variables. Actually, there are three main classic approaches based on undirected graphs [10], directed acyclic graphs [11], or chain graphs [12]. These graphical structures obey graphoid properties (i.e. symmetry, decomposition, weak union, c...
