Closures of exponential families
The variation distance closure of an exponential family with a convex set of canonical parameters is described, assuming no regularity conditions. The tools are the concepts of convex core of a measure and extension of an exponential family, introduced ...

Exponential Family Graph Embeddings [PDF]
Representing networks in a low dimensional latent space is a crucial task with many interesting applications in graph learning problems, such as link prediction and node classification. A widely applied network representation learning paradigm is based on the combination of random walks for sampling context nodes and the traditional Skip-Gram model to ...

Information Geometry Approach to Parameter Estimation in Markov Chains [PDF]
We consider the parameter estimation of Markov chain when the unknown transition matrix belongs to an exponential family of transition matrices. Then, we show that the sample mean of the generator of the exponential family is an asymptotically efficient ...

$q$-Exponential Families [PDF]
We develop an analog of the exponential families of Wilf in which the label sets are finite dimensional vector spaces over a finite field rather than finite sets of positive integers. The essential features of exponential families are preserved, including the exponential formula relating the deck enumerator and the hand enumerator.

Reproductive Exponential Families
Consider a full and steep exponential model $\mathscr{M}$ with model function $a(\theta)b(x)\exp\{\theta \cdot t(x)\}$ and a sample $x_1, \cdots, x_n$ from $\mathscr{M}$. Let $\bar{t} = \{t(x_1) + \cdots + t(x_n)\}/n$ and let $\bar{t} = (\bar{t}_1, \bar{t}_2)$ be a partition of the canonical statistic $\bar{t}$.

Rank verification for exponential families [PDF]
Many statistical experiments involve comparing multiple population groups. For example, a public opinion poll may ask which of several political candidates commands the most support; a social scientific survey may report the most common of several responses to a question; or, a clinical trial may compare binary patient outcomes under several treatment ...

An Exponential Family of Lorenz Curves [PDF]
A new method for building parametric‐functional families of Lorenz curves, generated from an initial Lorenz curve (which satisfies some regularity conditions), is presented. The method is applied to the exponential family since they use the exponential Lorenz curves as their generating curves.

Support Sets in Exponential Families and Oriented Matroid Theory [PDF]
The closure of a discrete exponential family is described by a finite set of equations corresponding to the circuits of an underlying oriented matroid. These equations are similar to the equations used in algebraic statistics, although they need not be ...

Satisfiability with Exponential Families [PDF]
Fix a set S ⊆ {0, 1}* of exponential size, e.g. |S ∩ {0, 1}n| ∈ Ω(αn), α > 1. The S-SAT problem asks whether a propositional formula F over variables v1, . . . , vn has a satisfying assignment (v1, . . . , vn) ∈ {0, 1}n ∩ S. Our interest is in determining the complexity of S-SAT.

Two refreshing views of Fluctuation Theorems through Kinematics Elements and Exponential Martingale [PDF]
In the context of Markov evolution, we present two original approaches to obtain Generalized Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorems (GFDT), by using the language of stochastic derivatives and by using a family of exponential martingales functionals.
