Marginalizing in Undirected Graph and Hypergraph Models
Enrique Castillo, Juan Ferrándiz, Pilar Sanmartin
Abstract:
Given an undirected graph G or hypergraph X model for a given set of variables V, we introduce two marginalization operators for obtaining the undirected graph GA or hypergraph HA associated with a given subset A c V such that the marginal distribution of A factorizes according to GA or HA, respectively. Finally, we illustrate the method by its application to some practical examples. With them we show that hypergraph models allow defining a finer factorization or performing a more precise conditional independence analysis than undirected graph models.
