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…

We consider multivariate centered Gaussian models for the random vector $(Z^1,\ldots, Z^p)$, whose conditional structure is described by a homogeneous graph and which is invariant under the action of a permutation subgroup. The following…
