In this article we have considered the possibility of using the exponential power family as conditional probability densities. It will be shown that for some platikurtic conditional distributions in this family, conditional regression functions are constant. These results give conditions to avoid compatibility problems when distributions with lighter tails than the normal are used in the description of conditional densities to specify joint densities, like in Bayesian networks.engjournal articlehttp://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03610920903009392http://www.tandfonline.com/restricted access519.224Bayesian networksConditionally specified distributionsExponential power distributionsEstadística aplicada
