Approximating passage time distributions in queueing models by Bayesian expansion
We introduce Bayesian Expansion (BE), an approximate numerical technique for passage time distribution analysis in queueing networks. BE uses a class of Bayesian networks to appro...

Approximation of Data by Decomposable Belief Models
It is well known that among all probabilistic graphical Markov models the class of decomposable models is the most advantageous in the sense that the respective distributions can b...

Obtaining The Correspondence between Bayesian and Neural Networks
We present in this paper a novel method for eliciting the conditional probability matrices needed for a Bayesian network with the help of a neural network. We demonstrate how we c...
