摘要: In graphical Gaussian models, it is well known that the maximum likelihood estimator exists with probability one if number of replicates at least as large variates. this paper we deal case fewer replicates. For chordless p-cycle two replicates, prove strictly between zero and one. (In p = 4 independence, 2/3.)
