We propose a conjugate and conditional conjugate Bayesian analysis of models of marginal independence with a bi-directed graph representation. We work with Markov equivalent directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) obtained using the same vertex set with the addition of some latent vertices when required....

This paper deals with the Bayesian analysis of graphical models of marginal independence for three way contingency tables. Each marginal independence model corresponds to a particular factorization of the cell probabilities and a conjugate analysis based on Dirichlet prior can be performed. We...

A conjugate and conditional conjugate Bayesian analysis is presented for bi-directed discrete graphical models, which are used to describe and estimate marginal associations between categorical variables. To achieve this, each bi-directed graph is re-expressed by a Markov equivalent, over the...

Recently an O∗(n4) volume algorithm has been presented for convex bodies by Lovász and Vempala, where n is the number of dimensions of the convex body. Essentially the algorithm is a series of Monte Carlo integrations. In this paper we describe a computer implementation of the volume...
