Recoverability of Joint Distribution from Missing Data

Jin Tian

A probabilistic query may not be estimable from observed data corrupted by missing values if the data are not missing at random (MAR). It is therefore of theoretical interest and p…

Structure Learning in Bayesian Networks of Moderate Size by Efficient Sampling

Ru He, Jin Tian, Huaiqing Wu

We study the Bayesian model averaging approach to learning Bayesian network structures (DAGs) from data. We develop new algorithms including the first algorithm that is able to eff…

A Parallel Algorithm for Exact Bayesian Structure Discovery in Bayesian Networks

Yetian Chen, Jin Tian, Olga Nikolova +1

Exact Bayesian structure discovery in Bayesian networks requires exponential time and space. Using dynamic programming (DP), the fastest known sequential algorithm computes the exa…

Probabilities of Causation: Bounds and Identification

Jin Tian, Judea Pearl

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the probability that one event was a cause of another in a given scenario. Using structural-semantical definitions of the probabilit…

A Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for MDL Learning Bayesian Networks

Jin Tian

This paper extends the work in [Suzuki, 1996] and presents an efficient depth-first branch-and-bound algorithm for learning Bayesian network structures, based on the minimum descri…

Causal Discovery from Changes

Jin Tian, Judea Pearl

We propose a new method of discovering causal structures, based on the detection of local, spontaneous changes in the underlying data-generating model. We analyze the classes of st…
