Abstract: Motivated by the modelling of non Gaussian data or positively correlated data on a lattice, extensions of Besag's Markov random fields auto-models to exponential families with multi-dimensional parameters have been proposed recently. In this paper, we provide a multiple-parameter analog of Besag's one-dimensional result that gives the necessary form of the exponential families for the Markov random field's conditional distributions. We propose estimation of parameters by maximum pseudo-likelihood and give a proof for the consistency of the estimators for the multi-parameter auto-model. The methodology is illustrated with some examples, particularly the building of a cooperative system with beta conditional distributions.
