Markov category

Last updated Dec 7, 2024

Markov categories are copy-discard categories of total morphisms that have conditionals. From conditionals, we can prove the existence of Bayesian inversions. The main example is the category of distributions ( Stoch, the Kleisli category of the finitary distribution monad); continuous examples are given by standard Borel spaces (see Giry monad) and normal Gaussian noise (see Gaussian probability theory).
