Title: Modeling and Reasoning with Bayesian Networks

Author: Adnan Darwiche

Publisher: Cambridge University Press, 2009

 

Description:

 

This book provides a thorough introduction to the formal foundations and 

practical applications of Bayesian networks. It provides an extensive 

discussion of techniques for building Bayesian networks that model 

real-world situations, including techniques for synthesizing models from 

design, learning models from data, and debugging models using 

sensitivity analysis. It also treats exact and approximate inference 

algorithms at both theoretical and practical levels. The author assumes 

very little background on the covered subjects, supplying in-depth 

discussions for theoretically inclined readers and enough practical 

details to provide an algorithmic cookbook for the system developer.
