Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. was charged with possession of marijuana this week after an encounter with law enforcement in Indiana earlier this month, court records revealed. Richardson, who was drafted by the Colts with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, is facing a criminal misdemeanor charge of possession following a traffic stop in Carmel, Indiana, on Oct. 12, court records show. Richardson was pulled over by officers with the Carmel Police Department after the black 2023 Dodge Charger he was driving had a license plate that did not match its expired registration, according to FOX59, which first reported the news.


Estimating Staged Event Tree Models via Hierarchical Clustering on the Simplex

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Staged tree models enhance Bayesian networks by incorporating context-specific dependencies through a stage-based structure. In this study, we present a new framework for estimating staged trees using hierarchical clustering on the probability simplex, utilizing simplex basesd divergences. We conduct a thorough evaluation of several distance and divergence metrics including Total Variation, Hellinger, Fisher, and Kaniadakis; alongside various linkage methods such as Ward.D2, average, complete, and McQuitty. We conducted the simulation experiments that reveals Total Variation, especially when combined with Ward.D2 linkage, consistently produces staged trees with better model fit, structure recovery, and computational efficiency. We assess performance by utilizing relative Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and Hamming distance. Our findings indicate that although Backward Hill Climbing (BHC) delivers competitive outcomes, it incurs a significantly higher computational cost. On the other, Total Variation divergence with Ward.D2 linkage, achieves similar performance while providing significantly better computational efficiency, making it a more viable option for large-scale or time sensitive tasks.
