Probabilistic Soft Interventions in Conditional Gaussian Networks
Florian M. Markowetz, Steffen Großmann, Rainer Spang · MPG.PuRe (Max Planck Society) · 2005
We introduce a general concept of probabilistic interventions in Bayesian networks. This generalizes deterministic interventions, which fix nodes to certain states. We propose “pushing” variables in the direction of target states without fixing them. We formalize this idea in a Bayesian framework based on Conditional Gaussian networks.
