A Bayesian nonparametric test for conditional independence

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This article introduces a Bayesian nonparametric method for quantifying the relative evidence in a dataset in favour of the dependence or independence of two variables conditional on a third. The approach uses P olya tree priors on spaces of conditional probability densities, accounting for uncertainty in the form of the underlying distributions in a nonparametric way. The Bayesian perspective provides an inherently symmetric probability measure of conditional dependence or independence, a feature particularly advantageous in causal discovery and not employed by any previous procedure of this type.


How Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine dunked their way into the 'NBA 2K17' video game

"You sure?" the Orlando Magic forward asks. "You sure you don't want my floater package?" You're here to throw down nasty dunks. We're inside a cavernous staging studio tucked away amid loading docks and dark glass windows in a Northern California commercial area. A basketball hoop commands center stage, surrounded by cameras plunked on the floor and perched in every corner.
