Introduction to Bayesian methods

An Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks

Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...

Introduction to Bayesian Inference

These are the write-up of a NIKHEF topical lecture series on Bayesian inference. The topics covered are the definition of probability, elementary probability calculus and assignment, selection of least informative probabilities by the maximum entropy principle, parameter estimation, systematic error propagation, model selection and the stopping problem in counting experiments.

Introduction to Bayesian networks

The primary objective of this book is to discuss the power and limits of Bayesian networks for the purpose of constructing real-world models. The idea of the authors is not to extensively and formally expound on the formalism of mathematical models, and then explain that these models have been – or may be – applied in various fields; the point of view is, conversely, to explain why and how some...
