Bayesian Networks: An Introduction
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2009, Pages: 368
A self-contained introduction to the theory and applications of Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks are a topic of interest and importance for statisticians, computer scientists and those involved in modelling and the learning of complex data sets. The material included in this introductory guide has been extensively tested in classroom teaching and assumes a basic knowledge of probability and statistics course and basic mathematics. All notions are explained carefully with an extensive set of exercises throughout the book as well as computer exercises. A solutions manual is also provided online.
Bayesian Networks: An Introduction provides a self-contained introduction to the theory and applications of Bayesian networks, a topic of interest and importance for statisticians, computer scientists and those involved in modelling complex data sets. The material has been extensively tested in classroom teaching and assumes a basic knowledge of probability, statistics and mathematics. All notions are carefully explained and feature exercises throughout.
Features include:
- An introduction to Dirichlet Distribution, Exponential Families and their applications.
- A detailed description of learning algorithms and Conditional Gaussian Distributions using Junction Tree methods.
- A discussion of Pearl's intervention calculus, with an introduction to the notion of see and do conditioning.
- All concepts are clearly defined and illustrated with examples and exercises. Solutions are provided online.
This book will prove a valuable resource for postgraduate students of statistics, computer engineering, mathematics, data mining, artificial intelligence, and biology.
Researchers and users of comparable modelling or statistical techniques such as neural networks will also find this book of interest
