An Importance Sampling Algorithm Based on Evidence Pre-propagation
Precision achieved by stochastic sampling algorithms for Bayesian networks typically deteriorates in face of extremely unlikely evidence. To address this problem, we propose the E...

Importance Sampling for Continuous Time Bayesian Networks
A continuous time Bayesian network (CTBN) uses a structured representation to describe a dynamic system with a finite number of states which evolves in continuous time. Exact infe...

Theoretical analysis and practical insights on importance sampling in Bayesian networks
The AIS-BN algorithm [2] is a successful importance sampling-based algorithm for Bayesian networks that relies on two heuristic methods to obtain an initial importance function: -...
