Simulation 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 کاملObjective Bayes Factors for Gaussian Directed Acyclic Graphical Models
We propose an objective Bayesian method for the comparison of all Gaussian directed acyclic graphical models defined on a given set of variables. The method, which is based on the notion of fractional Bayes factor, requires a single default (typically improper) prior on the space of unconstrained covariance matrices, together with a prior sample size hyper-parameter, which can be set to its min...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian Model Selection in Gaussian Graphical Models
This paper presents a default model-selection procedure for Gaussian graphical models that involves two new developments. First, we develop an objective version of the hyper-inverse Wishart prior for restricted covariance matrices, called the HIW g-prior, and show how it corresponds to the implied fractional prior for covariance selection using fractional Bayes factors. Second, we apply a class...
متن کاملBayesian Graphical Models for Multivariate Functional Data
Graphical models express conditional independence relationships among variables. Although methods for vector-valued data are well established, functional data graphical models remain underdeveloped. By functional data, we refer to data that are realizations of random functions varying over a continuum (e.g., images, signals). We introduce a notion of conditional independence between random func...
متن کاملDynamic Matrix-Variate Graphical Models
This paper introduces a novel class of Bayesian models for multivariate time series analysis based on a synthesis of dynamic linear models and graphical models. The synthesis uses sparse graphical modelling ideas to introduce structured, conditional independence relationships in the time-varying, cross-sectional covariance matrices of multiple time series. We define this new class of models and...
