New statistical concept 'Transitional Conditional Independence' introduced

This paper introduces a new concept called transitional conditional independence, designed to handle variables that are not random, such as parameters or treatments. Unlike traditional conditional independence, this new relation does not require a probability distribution on the non-stochastic input. It is defined by a specific factorization of a Markov kernel and is asymmetric, a property essential for its intended meaning. The research demonstrates that this concept can be applied to various statistical problems, including ancillarity, sufficiency, adequacy, invariant prediction, and Bayesian networks. AI
