On the distance between mean and geometric median in high dimensions
Richard Schwank, Mathias Drton
The geometric median, a notion of center for multivariate distributions, has gained recent attention in robust statistics and machine learning. Although conceptually distinct from…
Trek-Based Parameter Identification for Linear Causal Models With Arbitrarily Structured Latent Variables
Nils Sturma, Mathias Drton
We develop a criterion to certify whether causal effects are identifiable in linear structural equation models with latent variables. Linear structural equation models correspond t…
Matching Criterion for Identifiability in Sparse Factor Analysis
Nils Sturma, Miriam Kranzlmueller, Irem Portakal +1
Factor analysis models explain dependence among observed variables by a smaller number of unobserved factors. A main challenge in confirmatory factor analysis is determining whethe…
Rational Maximum Likelihood Estimators of Kronecker Covariance Matrices
Mathias Drton, Alexandros Grosdos, Andrew McCormack
As is the case for many curved exponential families, the computation of maximum likelihood estimates in a multivariate normal model with a Kronecker covariance structure is typical…
Algebraic Sparse Factor Analysis
Mathias Drton, Alexandros Grosdos, Irem Portakal +1
Factor analysis is a statistical technique that explains correlations among observed random variables with the help of a smaller number of unobserved factors. In traditional full f…
