A Graph-Theoretic Analysis of Information Value
We derive qualitative relationships about the informationalrelevance of variables in graphical decision models based on a consideration of the topology of the models. Speci cally,...

A Measure of Decision Flexibility
We propose a decision-analytical approach to comparing the flexibility of decision situations from the perspective of a decisionmaker who exhibits constant risk-aversion over a mo...

Asymptotic Model Selection for Directed Networks with Hidden Variables
We extend the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), an asymptotic approximation for the marginal likelihood, to Bayesian networks with hidden variables. This approximation can be ...

Network Engineering for Complex Belief Networks
Developing a large belief network, like any large system, requires systems engineering to manage the design and construction process. We propose that network engineering follow a ...

Learning Bayesian Networks with Local Structure
In this paper we examine a novel addition to the known methods for learning Bayesian networks from data that improves the quality of the learned networks. Our approach explicitly ...
