Some modern applications of graphical models
Steffen Lilholt Lauritzen · 2003
Abstract In recent years there are a number of areas where graphical models have served successfully in the process of understanding, formulating, and solving problems. Although the early papers on graphical models dealt with undirected graphs (Darroch et al. 1980), recent applications of graphical models have predominantly been based on directed graphical models, also known as recursive models (Wermuth and Lauritzen 1983) or Bayesian networks, a term coined by Pearl (1986).
