— Bayesian networks play a key role in decision support within health care. Physicians rely on Bayesian networks to give medical treatment, generate what-if scenarios, and other ...
Abstract. Switching linear dynamic systems (SLDS) attempt to describe a complex nonlinear dynamic system with a succession of linear models indexed by a switching variable. Unfortu...
Learning Bayesian networks from data is an N-P hard problem with important practical applications. Several researchers have designed algorithms to overcome the computational comple...
A major difficulty in building Bayesian network models is the size of conditional probability tables, which grow exponentially in the number of parents. One way of dealing with th...
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...
