An Importance Sampling Algorithm Based on Evidence Pre-propagation
Changhe Yuan, Marek J. Druzdzel
Precision achieved by stochastic sampling algorithms for Bayesian networks typically deteriorates in face of extremely unlikely evidence. To address this problem, we propose the Ev…
A Robust Independence Test for Constraint-Based Learning of Causal Structure
Denver Dash, Marek J. Druzdzel
Constraint-based (CB) learning is a formalism for learning a causal network with a database D by performing a series of conditional-independence tests to infer structural informati…
Annealed MAP
Changhe Yuan, Tsai-Ching Lu, Marek J. Druzdzel
Maximum a Posteriori assignment (MAP) is the problem of finding the most probable instantiation of a set of variables given the partial evidence on the other variables in a Bayesia…
Importance Sampling in Bayesian Networks: An Influence-Based Approximation Strategy for Importance Functions
Changhe Yuan, Marek J. Druzdzel
One of the main problems of importance sampling in Bayesian networks is representation of the importance function, which should ideally be as close as possible to the posterior joi…
