Efficient Approximations for the Marginal Likelihood of Incomplete Data Given a Bayesian Network
We discuss Bayesian methods for learning Bayesian networks when data sets are incomplete. In particular, we examine asymptotic approximations for the marginal likelihood of incomp...

An evaluation of structural parameters for probabilistic reasoning: Results on benchmark circuits
Many algorithms for processing probabilistic networks are dependent on the topological properties of the problem's structure. Such algorithmse.g., clustering, conditioning ar...

Learning Bayesian Networks with Local Structure
In this paper we examine a novel addition to the known methods for learning Bayesian networks from data that improves the quality of the learned networks. Our approach explicitly ...

A Qualitative Markov Assumption and Its Implications for Belief Change
The study of belief change has been an active area in philosophy and AI. In recent years, two special cases of belief change, belief revision and belief update, have been studied ...

Why is diagnosis using belief networks insensitive to imprecision in probabilities?
Recent research has found that diagnostic performance with Bayesian belief networks is often surprisingly insensitive to imprecision in the numerical probabilities. For example, t...
