متن کاملCumulative Distribution Networks and the Derivative-sum-product Algorithm: Models and Inference for Cumulative Distribution Functions on Graphs
We present a class of graphical models for directly representing the joint cumulative distribution function (CDF) of many random variables, called cumulative distribution networks (CDNs). Unlike graphs for probability density and mass functions, in a CDN, the marginal probabilities for any subset of variables are obtained by computing limits of functions in the model. We will show that the cond...
متن کاملCumulative distribution functions and moments of lattice polynomials
We give the cumulative distribution functions, the expected values, and the moments of lattice polynomials when regarded as real functions. Since lattice polynomial functions include order statistics, our results encompass the corresponding formulas for order statistics.
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood learning of cumulative distribution functions on graphs
For many applications, a probability model can be more easily expressed as a cumulative distribution functions (CDF) as compared to the use of probability density or mass functions (PDF/PMFs). One advantage of CDF models is the simplicity of representing multivariate heavy-tailed distributions. Examples of fields that can benefit from the use of graphical models for CDFs include climatology and...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for the Dirichlet-Multinomial Distribution
In the 1998 paper entitled Large Cluster Results for Two Parametric Multinomial Extra Variation Models, Nagaraj K. Neerchal and Jorge G. Morel developed an approximation to the Fisher information matrix used in the Fisher Scoring algorithm for finding the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the Dirichlet-multinomial distribution. They performed simulation studies comparing the res...
