Body composition predicted with a Bayesian network from simple variables.
The relative contributions of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) to body weight are key indicators for several major public health issues. Predictive models could offer new insights into body composition analysis. A non-parametric equation derived from a probabilistic Bayesian network (BN) was established by including sex, age, body weight and height. We hypothesised that it would be possibl...
متن کاملOn Bayesian Network Inference with Simple Propagation
Simple Propagation (SP) was recently proposed as a new join tree propagation algorithm for exact inference in discrete Bayesian networks and empirically shown to be faster than Lazy Propagation (LP) when applied on optimal (or close to) join trees built from real-world and benchmark Bayesian networks. This paper extends SP in two directions. First, we propose and empirically evaluate eight heur...
متن کاملinter-simple sequence repeat loci associations with predicted breeding values of body weight in kermani sheep
the kermani sheep is an important meat producing an animal in iran and its economic efficiency is mainly dependent on its growth and reproduction ability. inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) is the genome region between microsatellite loci. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of two different issr markers with predicted breeding values (pbv) of body weight trait in kermani she...
متن کاملA simple approach to Bayesian network computations
The general problem of computing poste rior probabilities in Bayesian networks is NP hard Cooper However e cient algorithms are often possible for particular applications by exploiting problem struc tures It is well understood that the key to the materialization of such a possibil ity is to make use of conditional indepen dence and work with factorizations of joint probabilities rather than joi...
متن کاملA constraint based algorithm for learning Bayesian network structure from distributed data with overlapping variables
While there has been considerable research in learning Bayesian network structure from data, until recently most of this research assumed that every variable of interest may be jointly measured in a single dataset. In practice, however, it is often the case that researchers only have access to data that is distributed across multiple datasets, which share some variables, but have other unique v...
