WISHART DISTRIBUTIONS FOR COVARIANCE GRAPH MODELS By
Gaussian covariance graph models encode marginal independence among the components of a multivariate random vector by means of a graph G. These models are distinctly different from the traditional concentration graph models (often also referred to as Gaus-sian graphical models or covariance selection models), as the zeroes in the parameter are now reflected in the covariance matrix Σ, as compar...
متن کاملSimulation of Hyper-Inverse Wishart Distributions for Non-decomposable Graphs
We propose an efficient solution to the problem of sampling from a hyperinverse Wishart distribution in non-decomposable graphs. The method relies on local computations based on the standard junction tree representation of graphs and distribution theoretical results of constraint Wishart matrices. We hope with this note to clarify a few confusing points that appeared in previous attempts to sol...
متن کاملOn Riesz and Wishart distributions associated with decomposable undirected graphs
Classical Wishart distributions on the open convex cones of positive definite matrices and their fundamental features are extended to generalized Riesz and Wishart distributions associated with decomposable undirected graphs using the basic theory of exponential families. The families of these distributions are parameterized by their expectations/natural parameter and multivariate shape paramet...
متن کاملApproximating discrete probability distributions with decomposable models
A heuristic procedure is presented to approximate an 71dimensional discrete probability distribution with a decomposable model of a given complexity. It is shown that, without loss of generality, the search space can be restricted to a suitable subclass of decomposable models, whose members are called elementary models. The selected elementary model is constructed in an incremental manner accor...
متن کاملInformation Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Burr III and Logistic Distributions
Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrices for multivariate Burr III and logistic distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in price and income distributions, reliability, economics, Human population, some biological organisms to model agricultural population data and survival data. We showed that ...
