Smoothness of Gaussian conditional independence models
Mathias Drton, Han Xiao
Conditional independence in a multivariate normal (or Gaussian) distribution is characterized by the vanishing of subdeterminants of the distribution's covariance matrix. Gaussian…
Discrete chain graph models
Mathias Drton
The statistical literature discusses different types of Markov properties for chain graphs that lead to four possible classes of chain graph Markov models. The different models are…
Finiteness of small factor analysis models
Mathias Drton, Han Xiao
We consider small factor analysis models with one or two factors. Fixing the number of factors, we prove a finiteness result about the covariance matrix parameter space when the si…
A Geometric Interpretation of the Characteristic Polynomial of Reflection Arrangements
Mathias Drton, Caroline J. Klivans
We consider projections of points onto fundamental chambers of finite real reflection groups. Our main result shows that for groups of type , , and , the coefficient…
