Abstract:
|
Acyclic directed mixed graphs may be used to represent causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) models in which some variables are unmeasured (latent). In this talk we present a parametrization of the observed distribution in the multivariate binary case. The resulting model satisfies Markov constraints, and so-called Verma constraints. The parametrization leads to efficient algorithms for computing intervention distributions, as well as allowing scoring-based model search.
