      The authors obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary discrete probability distribution to factor according to an undirected graphical model, or a log-linear model, or other more general exponential models. They study decomposable as well as non-decomposable graphical models. Some characterizations of decomposable graphical models are obtained.
