Using Bayesian Networks to Model Hierarchical Relationships in Epidemiological Studies
OBJECTIVES To propose an alternative procedure, based on a Bayesian network (BN), for estimation and prediction, and to discuss its usefulness for taking into account the hierarchical relationships among covariates. METHODS The procedure is illustrated by modeling the risk of diarrhea infection for 2,740 children aged 0 to 59 months in Cameroon. We compare the procedure with a standard logist...
متن کاملUsing Bayesian Networks to Model Agent Relationships
An agent-society of the future is envisioned to be as complex as a human society. Just like human societies, such multiagent systems (MAS) deserve an in-depth study of the dynamics, relationships, and interactions of the constituent agents. An agent in a MAS may have only approximate a priori estimates of the trustworthiness of another agent. But it can learn from interactions with other agents...

Usefulness of Bayesian networks in epidemiological studies
Medicina Balear 2014; 29 (3): 10-17 Bayesian networks (BNs)16, 25 also referred to as causal networks or beliefs networks, are a form of statistical modelling which allow us to obtain a graphical network describing the dependencies and conditional independencies from empirical data. They have proven to be a promising tool for discovering relationships9, they capture the way an expert understand...
متن کاملInferring regulatory networks using a hierarchical Bayesian graphical Gaussian model
In this paper, we propose a new formalism based on graphical Gaussian model (GGM) to infer genetic regulatory networks. A hierarchical Bayesian prior for the precision matrix of the GGM is introduced to impose a bias toward sparse graph structure. We show that the MAP estimation of the undirected graph can be readily obtained by a variant of the well-known Lasso regression algorithm. Then we in...
