Transitive comparison of marginal probability distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A generalized dice model for the pairwise comparison of non-necessarily independent random variables is established. It is shown how the transitivity of the probabilistic relation generated by the model depends on the copula defining the coupling of the marginal distribution functions in the joint distribution function.

Determination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.
متن کاملShortest Path Problem with Gamma Probability Distribution Arc Length
We propose a dynamic program to find the shortest path in a network having gamma probability distributions as arc lengths. Two operators of sum and comparison need to be adapted for the proposed dynamic program. Convolution approach is used to sum two gamma probability distributions being employed in the dynamic program.
متن کاملRelating Gibbs Distributions to Empirically Derived Marginal Distributions for Image Analysis
The log marginal probability ratios of a Gibbs distribution over an 8 connected neighborhood system is a linear function of its 66 clique weights. We empirically determine log marginal probability ratios of artiicial noiseless images and use the pseudoinverse method to compute the closest Gibbs distribution. We compare these Gibbs distributions to ad hoc distributions suggested in the literatur...
متن کاملSimplifying Texture Classification
In texture classification modeling the full joint probability distribution of features is of questionable value. This paper demonstrates that marginal distributions of filter responses and marginal conditional distributions of intensity values over small neighborhoods are adequate to classify textures and can outperform methods using the joint distribution. The use of the Earth Mover’s Distance...
متن کاملBounds on marginal probability distributions
We propose a novel bound on single-variable marginal probability distributions in factor graphs with discrete variables. The bound is obtained by propagating local bounds (convex sets of probability distributions) over a subtree of the factor graph, rooted in the variable of interest. By construction, the method not only bounds the exact marginal probability distribution of a variable, but also...
