Bayesian structure learning using dynamic programming and MCMC
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how to significantly speed up MCMC sampling of DAG structures by using a powerful non-local proposal based on Koivisto’s dynamic programming (DP) algorithm (11; 10), which computes the exact marginal posterior edge probabilities by analytically summing over orders. Furthermore, we show how sampling in DAG space can avoid subtle biases that are introduced by approaches that work only with orders, such as Koivisto’s DP algorithm and MCMC order samplers (6; 5).

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...
متن کاملCost Analysis of Acceptance Sampling Models Using Dynamic Programming and Bayesian Inference Considering Inspection Errors
Acceptance Sampling models have been widely applied in companies for the inspection and testing the raw material as well as the final products. A number of lots of the items are produced in a day in the industries so it may be impossible to inspect/test each item in a lot. The acceptance sampling models only provide the guarantee for the producer and consumer that the items in the lots are acco...
متن کاملExact Bayesian structure learning from uncertain interventions
We show how to extend the dynamic programming algorithm of Koivisto [KS04, Koi06], which computes the exact posterior marginal edge probabilities p(Gij = 1|D) of a DAG G given data D, to the case where the data is obtained by interventions (experiments). In particular, we consider the case where the targets of the interventions are a priori unknown. We show that it is possible to learn the targ...
متن کاملLearning Bayesian Network Structure using Markov Blanket in K2 Algorithm
A Bayesian network is a graphical model that represents a set of random variables and their causal relationship via a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). There are basically two methods used for learning Bayesian network: parameter-learning and structure-learning. One of the most effective structure-learning methods is K2 algorithm. Because the performance of the K2 algorithm depends on node...
متن کاملLearning Non-Stationary Dynamic Bayesian Networks
Learning dynamic Bayesian network structures provides a principled mechanism for identifying conditional dependencies in time-series data. An important assumption of traditional DBN structure learning is that the data are generated by a stationary process, an assumption that is not true in many important settings. In this paper, we introduce a new class of graphical model called a nonstationary...
