Real-world signals typically span across multiple dimensions, that is, they naturally reside on multi-way data structures referred to as tensors. In contrast to standard ``flat-view'' multivariate matrix models which are agnostic to data…

The chain graph model admits both undirected and directed edges in one graph, where symmetric conditional dependencies are encoded via undirected edges and asymmetric causal relations are encoded via directed edges. Though frequently…

Structural global parameter identifiability indicates whether one can determine a parameter's value from given inputs and outputs in the absence of noise. If a given model has parameters for which there may be infinitely many values, such…
