Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) are well-established tools for probabilistic exploration of dependence structures using precision matrices. We develop a Bayesian method to incorporate covariate information in this GGMs setup in a nonlinear…

Gaussian graphical models represent the underlying graph structure of conditional dependence between random variables which can be determined using their partial correlation or precision matrix. In a high-dimensional setting, the precision…

Undirected graphs are often used to describe high dimensional distributions. Under sparsity conditions, the graph can be estimated using $\ell_1$-penalization methods. We propose and study the following method. We combine a multiple…

This paper proposes a penalized composite likelihood method for model selection in colored graphical Gaussian models. The method provides a sparse and symmetry-constrained estimator of the precision matrix, and thus conducts model selection…

We discuss the Gaussian graphical model (GGM; an undirected network of partial correlation coefficients) and detail its utility as an exploratory data analysis tool. The GGM shows which variables predict one-another, allows for sparse…

Graphical Gaussian models with edge and vertex symmetries were introduced by \citet{HojLaur:2008} who also gave an algorithm to compute the maximum likelihood estimate of the precision matrix for such models. In this paper, we take a…

We consider estimation of undirected Gaussian graphical models and inverse covariances in high-dimensional scenarios by penalizing the corresponding precision matrix. While single $L_1$ (Graphical Lasso) and $L_2$ (Graphical Ridge)…

Projection predictive inference is a decision theoretic Bayesian approach that decouples model estimation from decision making. Given a reference model previously built including all variables present in the data, projection predictive…

This thesis studies two problems in modern statistics. First, we study selective inference, or inference for hypothesis that are chosen after looking at the data. The motiving application is inference for regression coefficients selected by…

Structural causal models are the basic modelling unit in Pearl's causal theory; in principle they allow us to solve counterfactuals, which are at the top rung of the ladder of causation. But they often contain latent variables that limit…

We consider graphical models based on a recursive system of linear structural equations. This implies that there is an ordering, $\sigma$, of the variables such that each observed variable $Y_v$ is a linear function of a variable specific…
