The Geometry of Conditional Independence Tree Models with Hidden Variables
In this paper we investigate the geometry of undirected graphical models of trees when all the variables in the system are binary and some of them are hidden. We obtain a full description of those models which is given by polynomial equations and inequalities and give exact formulas for their parameters in terms of the marginal probability over the observed variables. We also show how correlati...
متن کاملRobustness and Conditional Independence Ideals
We study notions of robustness of Markov kernels and probability distribution of a system that is described by n input random variables and one output random variable. Markov kernels can be expanded in a series of potentials that allow to describe the system’s behaviour after knockouts. Robustness imposes structural constraints on these potentials. Robustness of probability distributions is def...
متن کاملTesting Conditional Independence for Continuous Random Variables
A common statistical problem is the testing of independence of two (response) variables conditionally on a third (control) variable. In the first part of this paper, we extend Hoeffding’s concept of estimability of degree r to testability of degree r, and show that independence is testable of degree two, while conditional independence is not testable of any degree if the control variable is con...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Independence Tree Models with Hidden Variables
In this paper we investigate the geometry of undirected discrete graphical models of trees when all the variables in the system are binary and the inner nodes are unobserved . We obtain a full geometric description of these models which is given by polynomial equations and inequalities. We also give exact formulas for their parameters in terms of the marginal probability over the observed varia...
متن کاملPropositional Independence Conditional independence
Independence – the study of what is relevant to a given problem of reasoning – is an important AI topic. In this paper, we investigate several notions of conditional independence in propositional logic: Darwiche and Pearl’s conditional independence, and two more restricted forms of it, called strong conditional independence and perfect conditional independence. Many characterizations and proper...
