This paper introduces a novel class of models for binary data, which we call log-mean linear models. They are specified by linear constraints on the log-mean linear parameter, defined as a log-linear expansion of the mean parameter of the multivariate Bernoulli distribution. We show that marginal independence relationships between variables can be specified by setting certain log-mean linear interactions to zero and,more specifically, that graphical models of marginal independence are log-mean linear models. Our approach overcomes some drawbacks of the existing parameterizations of graphical models of marginal independence.

Abstract
This paper introduces a novel class of models for binary data, which we call log-mean linear models. They are specified by linear constraints on the log-mean linear parameter, defined as a log-linear expansion of the mean parameter of the multivariate Bernoulli distribution. We show that marginal independence relationships between variables can be specified by setting certain log-mean linear interactions to zero and,more specifically, that graphical models of marginal independence are log-mean linear models. Our approach overcomes some drawbacks of the existing parameterizations of graphical models of marginal independence.File in questo prodotto:
