MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Support sets of distributions with given interaction structure

Thomas Kahle and Nihat Ay

Abstract

We study closures of hierarchical models which are exponential families associated with hypergraphs by decomposing the corresponding interaction spaces in a natural and transparent way. Here, we apply general results on closures of exponential families.
