Using Markov Blankets for Causal Structure Learning
We show how a generic feature selection algorithm returning strongly relevant variables can be turned into a causal structure learning algorithm. We prove this under the Faithfuln...

Time and sample efficient discovery of Markov blankets and direct causal relations
Data Mining with Bayesian Network learning has two important characteristics: under broad conditions learned edges between variables correspond to causal influences, and second, f...

Algorithms for Large Scale Markov Blanket Discovery
This paper presents a number of new algorithms for discovering the Markov Blanket of a target variable T from training data. The Markov Blanket can be used for variable selection ...

Speculative Markov Blanket Discovery for Optimal Feature Selection
In this paper we address the problem of learning the Markov blanket of a quantity from data in an efficient manner. Markov blanket discovery can be used in the feature selection ...

Markov Blanket Feature Selection for Support Vector Machines
Based on Information Theory, optimal feature selection should be carried out by searching Markov blankets. In this paper, we formally analyze the current Markov blanket discovery ...
