Conditional Independence Test for Categorical Data Using Poisson Log-Linear Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate how to test for conditional independence of two variables with categorical data using Poisson log-linear models. The size the conditioning set can vary from 0 (simple independence) up many variables. also provide a function in R performing test. Instead calculating all possible tables loop we perform loglinear models and thus speeding process. Time comparison simulation studies are presented.

Bayesian paradigm for analysing count data in longitudina studies using Poisson-generalized log-gamma model
In analyzing longitudinal data with counted responses, normal distribution is usually used for distribution of the random efffects. However, in some applications random effects may not be normally distributed. Misspecification of this distribution may cause reduction of efficiency of estimators. In this paper, a generalized log-gamma distribution is used for the random effects which includes th...
متن کاملModel-Powered Conditional Independence Test
We consider the problem of non-parametric Conditional Independence testing (CI testing) for continuous random variables. Given i.i.d samples from the joint distribution f(x, y, z) of continuous random vectors X,Y and Z, we determine whether X ⊥ Y |Z. We approach this by converting the conditional independence test into a classification problem. This allows us to harness very powerful classifier...
متن کاملTowards Conditional Independence Test for Relational Data
Conditional independence (CI) tests play a central role in statistical inference, machine learning, and causal discovery. Most existing CI tests assume that the samples are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.). However, this assumption often does not hold in the case of relational data. We define Relational Conditional Independence (RCI), a generalization of CI to the relational s...
متن کاملMarginal log-linear parameterization of conditional independence models
Models defined by a set of conditional independence restrictions play an important role in statistical theory and applications, especially, but not only, in graphical modeling. In this paper we identify a subclass of these consisting of hierarchical marginal log-linear models, as defined by Bergsma and Rudas (2002a). Such models are smooth, which implies the applicability of standard asymptotic...
