Gaussian Markov Distributions over Finite Graphs
有限图上的高斯马尔可夫分布
Gaussian Markov distributions are characterised by zeros in the inverse of their covariance matrix and we describe the conditional independencies which follow from a given pattern of zeros. Describing Gaussian distributions with given marginals and solving the likelihood equations with covariance selection models both lead to a problem for which we present two cyclic algorithms. The first generalises a published algorithm for covariance selection whilst the second is…
