Learning Discrete Bayesian Networks from Continuous Data
Real data often contains a mixture of discrete and continuous variables, but many Bayesian network structure learning and inference algorithms assume all random variables are discrete. Continuous variables are often discretized, but the choice of discretization policy has significant impact on the accuracy, speed, and interpretability of the resulting models. This paper introduces a principled ...
متن کاملLearning Bayesian Networks from Correlated Data
Bayesian networks are probabilistic models that represent complex distributions in a modular way and have become very popular in many fields. There are many methods to build Bayesian networks from a random sample of independent and identically distributed observations. However, many observational studies are designed using some form of clustered sampling that introduces correlations between obs...
متن کاملLearning Bayesian Networks from Incomplete Data
Much of the current research in learning Bayesian Networks fails to eeectively deal with missing data. Most of the methods assume that the data is complete, or make the data complete using fairly ad-hoc methods; other methods do deal with missing data but learn only the conditional probabilities, assuming that the structure is known. We present a principled approach to learn both the Bayesian n...
متن کاملLearning Causal Bayesian networks from Literature Data
We propose two machine learning methods based on Bayesian networks to discover automatically real world causal relations from scientific publications. The first method assumes that the occurrence of causal mechanisms (and the corresponding entities) in the publications follows a transitive scheme, the second method assumes that the causal mechanisms occur independently. We perform an evaluation...
متن کاملLearning Bayesian network parameters from small data sets: application of Noisy-OR gates
Existing data sets of cases can significantly reduce the knowledge engineering effort required to parameterize Bayesian networks. Unfortunately, when a data set is small, many conditioning cases are represented by too few or no data records and they do not offer sufficient basis for learning conditional probability distributions. We propose a method that uses Noisy-OR gates to reduce the data r...
