Preferred term

Bayesian networks  

Definition

  • A Bayesian network is a graphical representation of a multivariate probability distribution on a set of discrete random variables. Representational efficiency is achieved by explicit separation of information about conditional independence relations between the variables (coded in the network structure) and information about the probabilities involved (coded as a set of numeric parameters or functions).
