On entropy for mixtures of discrete and continuous variables
Let X be a discrete random variable with support S and f : S S be a bijection. Then it is wellknown that the entropy of X is the same as the entropy of f(X). This entropy preserva...

Hybrid Influence Diagrams Using Mixtures of Truncated Exponentials
Mixtures of truncated exponentials (MTE) potentials are an alternative to discretization for representing continuous chance variables in influence diagrams. Also, MTE potentials c...

Quantization of Continuous Input Variables for Binary Classification
Quantization of continuous variables is important in data analysis, especially for some model classes such as Bayesian networks and decision trees, which use discrete variables. Of...

Exact Inference in Networks with Discrete Children of Continuous Parents
Many real life domains contain a mixture of discrete and continuous variables and can be modeled as hybrid Bayesian Networks (BNs). An important subclass of hybrid BNs are conditi...
