Conclusion
● There is no joint distribution compatible with given marginals
11
Jayant Apte ASPITRG
Conclusion
● There is no joint distribution compatible with given marginals
● There is some systematic error in the coin flips

Jayant Apte ASPITRG
Conclusion
● There is no joint distribution compatible with given marginals
● There is some systematic error in the coin flips● OR The coins are operated by some weird
mechanism creating the required distribution as a function depending on which two are flipped together

Outline● Marginal scenario and marginal model● Contextuality● Marginal problem● Partial polymatroids● Relationship between marginal models and partial
polymatroids● Marginal Problem for polymatroids● Computations● Inference of common ancestors in Bayesian Networks● Contexuality of the n-Cycle marginal scenario● Extention to continuous random variables
