Nonparametric Bayes inference on conditional independence
条件独立性的非参数贝叶斯推断
In many application areas, a primary focus is on assessing evidence in the data refuting the assumption of independence of |$Y$| and |$X$| conditionally on |$Z$|, with |$Y$| response variables, |$X$| predictors of interest, and |$Z$| covariates. Ideally, one would have methods available that avoid parametric assumptions, allow |$Y, X, Z$| to be random variables on arbitrary spaces with arbitrary dimension, and accommodate rapid consideration of different candidate…
