Minimum Encoding Approaches for Predictive Modeling
Peter D Grunwald, Petri Kontkanen, Petri Myllymaki +2
We analyze differences between two information-theoretically motivated approaches to statistical inference and model selection: the Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle, and…
On Supervised Selection of Bayesian Networks
Petri Kontkanen, Petri Myllymaki, Tomi Silander +1
Given a set of possible models (e.g., Bayesian network structures) and a data sample, in the unsupervised model selection problem the task is to choose the most accurate model with…
Classifier Learning with Supervised Marginal Likelihood
Petri Kontkanen, Petri Myllymaki, Henry Tirri
It has been argued that in supervised classification tasks, in practice it may be more sensible to perform model selection with respect to some more focused model selection score,…
On Sensitivity of the MAP Bayesian Network Structure to the Equivalent Sample Size Parameter
Tomi Silander, Petri Kontkanen, Petri Myllymaki
BDeu marginal likelihood score is a popular model selection criterion for selecting a Bayesian network structure based on sample data. This non-informative scoring criterion assign…
