Adjustments and their Consequences— Collapsibility Analysis using Graphical Models
We review probabilistic and graphical rules for detecting situations in which a dependence of one variable on another is altered by adjusting for a third variable (i.e., non-collapsibility or noninvariance under adjustment), whether that dependence is causal or purely predictive. We focus on distinguishing situations in which adjustment will reduce, increase, or leave unchanged the degree of bi...
متن کاملRecombination analysis using directed graphical models.
In Strimmer and Moulton (2000), we described a method for computing the likelihood of a set of sequences assuming a phylogenetic network as an evolutionary hypothesis. That approach relied on converting a given graph into a directed graphical model or stochastic network from which all desired probability distributions could be derived. In particular, we investigated how to compute likelihoods u...
متن کاملMcmc Using Graphical Models
Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques have revolutionized the field of Bayesian statistics. Their enormous power and their generalizability have rendered them the method of choice for statistical inference in many scientific disciplines. Their power is so great that they can even accommodate situations in which the structure of the statistical model itself is uncertain. However, the analysis of s...
متن کاملGraphical simulation using chain models
This paper presents an extension of a previously described framework for the speci cation and manipulation of models of systems. This extension is particularly useful in the context of graphical simulation. The original framework and its extension include a convenient Application Programming Interface (API), and this paper provides examples of the use of this API in the context of graphical sim...
متن کاملImitation Learning Using Graphical Models
Imitation-based learning is a general mechanism for rapid acquisition of new behaviors in autonomous agents and robots. In this paper, we propose a new approach to learning by imitation based on parameter learning in probabilistic graphical models. Graphical models are used not only to model an agent’s own dynamics but also the dynamics of an observed teacher. Parameter tying between the agent-...
