Conditional Independences among Four Random Variables 2
نویسنده
چکیده
The conditional independences within a system of four discrete random variables are studied simultaneously. The problem where independences can occur at the same time, called the problem of probabilistic representability, is attacked by an analysis of cones of polymatroids. New results on the cone of all polymatroids satisfying Ingleton inequalities imply a substantial reduction of the problem and an explicit description of the remaining open cases. 3

متن کاملConditional Independences among Four Random Variables Ii
Numerous new properties of stochastic conditional independence are introduced. They are aimed, together with two surprisingly trivial examples, at a further reduction of the problem of probabilistic representability for four{element sets, i.e. of the problem which conditional independences within a system of four random variables can occur simultaneously. Proofs are based on fundamental propert...
متن کاملOn Gaussian conditional independence structures
The simultaneous occurrence of conditional independences among subvectors of a regular Gaussian vector is examined. All configurations of the conditional independences within four jointly regular Gaussian variables are found and completely characterized in terms of implications involving conditional independence statements. The statements induced by the separation in any simple graph are shown ...
متن کاملDuality between faithfulness assumptions in Graphical models
In this paper we analyze the duality between two faithfulness assumptions that can be defined on a given multivariate probability distribution of a set of random variables. The first pertains to faithfulness to its concentration graph and the second pertains to faithfulness to its covariance graph. The vertices in both these graphs are in a oneto-one correspondence with the set of variables in ...
متن کاملConditional Independences in Gaussian Vectors and Rings of Polynomials
Inference among the conditional independences in nondegenerate Gaussian vectors is studied by algebraic techniques. A general method to prove implications involving the conditional independences is presented. The method relies on computation of a Groebner basis. Examples of the implications are discussed. 1. Introduction Conditional independence (CI-) constraints have become crucial ingredient ...
