Max-linear models on directed acyclic graphs
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We consider a new recursive structural equation model where all variables can be written as max-linear function of their parental node variables and independent noise variables. The model is max-linear in terms of the noise variables, and its causal structure is represented by a directed acyclic graph. We detail the relation between the weights of the recursive structural equation model and the coefficients in its max-linear representation. In particular, we characterize all max-linear models which are generated by a recursive structural equation model, and show that its max-linear coefficient matrix is the solution of a fixed point equation. We also find a unique minimum directed acyclic graph representing the recursive structural equations of the variables. The model structure introduces a natural order between the node variables and the max-linear coefficients. This yields representations of the vector components, which are based on a minimum number of node and noise variables.
