Estimating Staged Event Tree Models via Hierarchical Clustering on the Simplex
Shoaib, Muhammad, Riccomagno, Eva, Leonelli, Manuele, Varando, Gherardo
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.

As speculation grows about possible retaliation on American soil, new research reveals which parts of the country could be safest if the unthinkable happens. Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst modeled a worst-case attack on the 450 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) silos clustered across the Midwest, which are considered prime targets because disabling them early would cripple America's nuclear arsenal. Using historical wind patterns recorded through 2021, scientists projected how radioactive fallout would spread if each silo were struck with a warhead roughly 50 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. According to their research, scientists determined that parts of the western US, stretching from Washington down to Texas, could be among the least affected regions in the immediate aftermath of a nuclear strike targeting US missile silos.

The tremor was detected at 2.14pm local time (3.14pm Although Kansas has no active volcanoes, the region marks the southern reach of the Midcontinent Rift System, a massive tectonic event that nearly split North America apart in Earth's distant past.
