چکیده

Two real-valued or vector-valued random variables X, Y are independent for probability measure P (written: X ⊥ Y [P ]) if for all sets A and B, P[X ∈ A, Y ∈ B] = P[X ∈ A] · P[Y ∈ B]. For jointly discrete or jointly continuous random variables this is equivalent to factoring of the joint probability mass function or probability density function, respectively. The variables X and Y are conditionally independent given a third random variable Z for probability distribution P (written: X ⊥ Y | Z [P ]) if the conditional pmf or pdf factors1 in the form: p(x, y | z) = p(x | z) p(y | z). This relation arises frequently in Bayesian analysis and computation; we now explore it further. For nice discussions of conditional independence in statistical inference see (Dawid 1979a,b, 1980) and for a more advanced view (Dawid and Lauritzen 1993).

Introduction to Probabilistic Graphical Models

Over the last decades, probabilistic graphical models have become the method of choice for representing uncertainty in machine learning. They are used in many research areas such as computer vision, speech processing, time-series and sequential data modelling, cognitive science, bioinformatics, probabilistic robotics, signal processing, communications and error-correcting coding theory, and in ...
