Abstract

Given an undirected graph G or hypergraph potential H model for a given set of variables V, we introduce two marginalization operators for obtaining the undirected graph G A or hypergraph H A associated with a given subset A⊂ V such that the marginal distribution of A factorizes according to G A or H A , respectively. Finally, we illustrate the method by its application to some practical examples. With them we show that potential approach allow defining a finer factorization or performing a more precise conditional independence analysis than undirected graph models. Finally, we explain connections with related works.
