BAYESIAN NETS
Jon Williamson · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2004
This chapter introduces Bayesian networks and probabilistic independence, and shows how Bayesian nets are used to represent probability functions. Inference in Bayesian nets is discussed and the problem of constructing Bayesian nets is introduced. One of the simplest methods for constructing Bayesian nets — sequentially adding arrows — is explored in some detail in order to highlight some of the key features of the construction problem.
