Generalization of the Tetrad Representation Theorem



Authors: Glenn Shafer, Alexander Kogan, and Peter Spirtes

ABSTRACT

The tetrad representation theorem, due to Spirtes, Glymour, and Scheines (1993), gives a graphical condition necessary and sufficient for the vanishing of tetrad differences in a linear correlation structure. This note simplifies their proof and generalizes the theorem. This generalization can strengthen procedures used to search for structural equation models for large data sets.
