Conditional probability spaces and closures of exponential families
Matúš, František
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.

Kompozicionální modely domněnkvých funkcí
Jiroušek, Radim ; Vejnarová, Jiřina ; Daniel, Milan
After it has been successfully done in probability and possibility theories, the paper is the first attempt to introduce the operator of composition also for belief functions. We prove that the proposed definition preserves all the necessary properties of the operator enabling us to define compositional models as an efficient tool for multidimensional models representation.

Optimální podmínky pro maximalizaci informační divergence exponenciální rodiny
Matúš, František
The information divergence of a probability measure P from an exponential family E over a finite set is defined as infimum of the divergences of P from Q subject to Q in E. All directional derivatives of the divergence from E are explicitly found. To this end, behaviour of the conjugate of a log-Laplace transform on the boundary of its domain is analysed. The first order conditions for P to be a maximizer of the divergence from E are presented, including new ones when P is not projectable to E.
