We present a closed set data mining paradigm which is particularly e ective for uncovering the kind of deterministic, causal dependencies that characterize much of basic science. ...
In previous work we developed a method of learning Bayesian Network models from raw data. This method relies on the well known minimal description length (MDL) principle. The MDL ...
This paper considers a method that combines ideas from Bayesian learning, Bayesian network inference, and classical hypothesis testing to produce a more reliable and robust test o...
