Critical Remarks on Bayesian Network Libraries.
Cory J. Butz · 2002
Designing a large Bayesian network (BN) has been regarded as a difficult process. It has been suggested that BN libraries can be used to facilitate the construction of a large BN. That is, a large BN can be defined in terms of smaller BNs stored in a library. In this paper, we point out that it may be possible to combine the conditional independencies defined by the smaller BNs, but not the smaller BNs themselves.
