For a distribution to be factorial : $P(X) = P(x_1)P(x_2)P(x_3)\cdots P(x_d)$ My question is :
will $P(X\mid Y)P(Y\mid Z)$ be factorial ?
for $P(X\mid Y)$ and $P(Y\mid Z)$ are factorial
Actually the problem I really want to solve is the entropy of the above equation
$H = \sum_{X,Y}P(X\mid Y)P(Y\mid Z)\log{P(X\mid Y)P(Y\mid Z)}$
where I know both distribution are factorial, that is
$P(X\mid Y)=P(X_1\mid Y)P(X_2\mid Y)\cdots P(X_d\mid Y)$ $P(Y\mid Z)=P(Y_1\mid Z)P(Y_2\mid Z)\cdots P(Y_d\mid Z)$
and I am wondering if I can simplify that.
