Bayesian Decision Networks: Fundamentals and Applications
About this ebook
A Bayesian network is a probabilistic graphical model that depicts a set of variables and their conditional relationships via a directed acyclic graph (DAG). In other words, a Bayesian network is a type of directed acyclic graph. Bayesian networks are perfect for determining the likelihood that any one of multiple possible known causes was the contributing factor in an event that has already taken place and making a prediction based on that likelihood. For instance, the probabilistic links that exist between diseases and symptoms might be represented by a Bayesian network. The network may be used to compute the odds of the presence of a variety of diseases based on the symptoms that are provided.
