Probabilistic Graphical Models

P Probabilistic Graphical Models

Bayesian network (BN) A directed graph whose nodes represent variables, and edges represent influences. Together with conditional probability distributions, a Bayesian network represents the joint probability distribution of its variables. Conditional probability distribution Assignment of probabilities to all instances of a set of variables when the value of one or more variables is known. Con...

Visualizing Graphical Probabilistic Models

Complex probabilistic models are difficult to evaluate not only for consistency with the domain theory but also for novelty and significance. In this paper we describe the current visual representations of Bayesian networks and then present an implementation containing enhancements to these visualizations by integrating several well known techniques. We then apply our approach in an exploration...

Probabilistic Graphical Models

This report1 presents probabilistic graphical models that are based on imprecise probabilities using a comprehensive language. In particular, the discussion is focused on credal networks and discrete domains. It describes the building blocks of credal networks, algorithms to perform inference, and discusses on complexity results and related work. The goal is to present an easy-to-follow introdu...

Statistical inference with probabilistic graphical models

These are notes from the lecture of Devavrat Shah given at the autumn school “Statistical Physics, Optimization, Inference, and Message-Passing Algorithms”, that took place in Les Houches, France from Monday September 30th, 2013, till Friday October 11th, 2013. The school was organized by Florent Krzakala from UPMC & ENS Paris, Federico Ricci-Tersenghi from La Sapienza Roma, Lenka Zdeborová fro...
