eng Abstract:
A set of conditional probabilities is introduced by conditioning in the probability measures from an exponential family. A closure of the set is found, using previous results on the closure of another exponential family in the variational distance. The conditioning in the exponential family of all positive probabilities on a finite space is discussed and related to the permutahedra.
