A method to construct exponential families by representation theory (1811.01394v4)
Published 4 Nov 2018 in math.ST, cs.LG, math.PR, and stat.TH
Abstract: In this paper, we give a method to construct "good" exponential families systematically by representation theory. More precisely, we consider a homogeneous space $G/H$ as a sample space and construct an exponential family invariant under the transformation group $G$ by using a representation of $G$. The method generates widely used exponential families such as normal, gamma, Bernoulli, categorical, Wishart, von Mises, Fisher-Bingham and hyperboloid distributions.
