ESTIMATION OF MEANS IN GRAPHICAL GAUSSIAN MODELS WITH SYMMETRIES

We study the problem of estimability of means in undirected graphical Gaussian models with symmetry restrictions represented by a colored graph. Following on from previous studies, we partition the variables into sets of vertices whose corresponding means are restricted to being identical. We find a...

description We study the problem of estimability of means in undirected graphical Gaussian models with symmetry restrictions represented by a colored graph. Following on from previous studies, we partition the variables into sets of vertices whose corresponding means are restricted to being identical. We find a necessary and sufficient condition on the partition to ensure equality between the maximum likelihood and least-squares estimators of the mean.
