Unifying Gaussian LWF and AMP Chain Graphs to Model Interference

Jose M. Peña

An intervention may have an effect on units other than those to which it was administered. This phenomenon is called interference and it usually goes unmodeled. In this paper, we p…

Identifiability of Gaussian Structural Equation Models with Dependent Errors Having Equal Variances

Jose M. Peña

In this paper, we prove that some Gaussian structural equation models with dependent errors having equal variances are identifiable from their corresponding Gaussian distributions.…

Unifying DAGs and UGs

Jose M. Peña

We introduce a new class of graphical models that generalizes Lauritzen-Wermuth-Frydenberg chain graphs by relaxing the semi-directed acyclity constraint so that only directed cycl…

Representing Independence Models with Elementary Triplets

Jose M. Peña

In an independence model, the triplets that represent conditional independences between singletons are called elementary. It is known that the elementary triplets represent the ind…

Causal Effect Identification in Acyclic Directed Mixed Graphs and Gated Models

Jose M. Peña, Marcus Bendtsen

We introduce a new family of graphical models that consists of graphs with possibly directed, undirected and bidirected edges but without directed cycles. We show that these models…

Alternative Markov and Causal Properties for Acyclic Directed Mixed Graphs

Jose M. Peña

We extend Andersson-Madigan-Perlman chain graphs by (i) relaxing the semidirected acyclity constraint so that only directed cycles are forbidden, and (ii) allowing up to two edges…

Factorization, Inference and Parameter Learning in Discrete AMP Chain Graphs

Jose M. Peña

We address some computational issues that may hinder the use of AMP chain graphs in practice. Specifically, we show how a discrete probability distribution that satisfies all the i…

Every LWF and AMP chain graph originates from a set of causal models

Jose M. Peña

This paper aims at justifying LWF and AMP chain graphs by showing that they do not represent arbitrary independence models. Specifically, we show that every chain graph is inclusio…

Error AMP Chain Graphs

Jose M. Peña

Any regular Gaussian probability distribution that can be represented by an AMP chain graph (CG) can be expressed as a system of linear equations with correlated errors whose struc…

Marginal AMP Chain Graphs

Jose M. Peña

We present a new family of models that is based on graphs that may have undirected, directed and bidirected edges. We name these new models marginal AMP (MAMP) chain graphs because…

Learning AMP Chain Graphs and some Marginal Models Thereof under Faithfulness: Extended Version

Jose M. Peña

This paper deals with chain graphs under the Andersson-Madigan-Perlman (AMP) interpretation. In particular, we present a constraint based algorithm for learning an AMP chain graph…

Learning AMP Chain Graphs under Faithfulness

Jose M. Peña

This paper deals with chain graphs under the alternative Andersson-Madigan-Perlman (AMP) interpretation. In particular, we present a constraint based algorithm for learning an AMP…

Towards Optimal Learning of Chain Graphs

Jose M. Peña

In this paper, we extend Meek's conjecture (Meek 1997) from directed and acyclic graphs to chain graphs, and prove that the extended conjecture is true. Specifically, we prove that…

Finding Consensus Bayesian Network Structures

Jose M. Peña

Suppose that multiple experts (or learning algorithms) provide us with alternative Bayesian network (BN) structures over a domain, and that we are interested in combining them into…

Reading Dependencies from Covariance Graphs

Jose M. Peña

The covariance graph (aka bi-directed graph) of a probability distribution is the undirected graph where two nodes are adjacent iff their corresponding random variables are…

Faithfulness in Chain Graphs: The Gaussian Case

Jose M. Peña

This paper deals with chain graphs under the classic Lauritzen-Wermuth-Frydenberg interpretation. We prove that the regular Gaussian distributions that factorize with respect to a…
