C Meek - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.4972, 2013 - arxiv.org
This paper presents correct algorithms for answering the following two questions;(i) Does
there exist a causal explanation consistent with a set of background knowledge which …

Directed cyclic graphical representations of feedback models

PL Spirtes - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.4982, 2013 - arxiv.org
The use of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to represent conditional independence relations
among random variables has proved fruitful in a variety of ways. Recursive structural …

A polynomial-time algorithm for deciding Markov equivalence of directed cyclic graphical models

TS Richardson - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.3600, 2013 - arxiv.org
Although the concept of d-separation was originally defined for directed acyclic graphs (see
Pearl 1988), there is a natural extension of he concept to directed cyclic graphs. When …

Chain graphs for learning

WL Buntine - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.4933, 2013 - arxiv.org
Chain graphs combine directed and undirected graphs and their underlying mathematics
combines properties of the two. This paper gives a simplified definition of chain graphs …

Dynamic construction of belief networks

RP Goldman, E Charniak - arXiv preprint arXiv:1304.1092, 2013 - arxiv.org
We describe a method for incrementally constructing belief networks. We have developed a
network-construction language similar to a forward-chaining language using data …

Bayesian networks from the point of view of chain graphs

M Studeny - arXiv preprint arXiv:1301.7414, 2013 - arxiv.org
AThe paper gives a few arguments in favour of the use of chain graphs for description of
probabilistic conditional independence structures. Every Bayesian network model can be …

Improved learning of Bayesian networks

T Kocka, R Castelo - arXiv preprint arXiv:1301.2283, 2013 - arxiv.org
The search space of Bayesian Network structures is usually defined as Acyclic Directed
Graphs (DAGs) and the search is done by local transformations of DAGs. But the space of …
