Bayesian Network Based Computer Vision Algorithm for Vehicle Classification from Incomplete Data

Efficient Algorithms for Bayesian Network Parameter Learning from Incomplete Data

We propose a family of efficient algorithms for learning the parameters of a Bayesian network from incomplete data. Our approach is based on recent theoretical analyses of missing data problems, which utilize a graphical representation, called the missingness graph. In the case of MCAR and MAR data, this graph need not be explicit, and yet we can still obtain closedform, asymptotically consiste...

Learning Bayesian Network Models from Incomplete Data using Importance Sampling

We propose a Bayesian approach to learning Bayesian network models from incomplete data. The objective is to obtain the posterior distribution of models, given the observed part of the data. We describe a new algorithm, called eMC, to simulate draws from this posterior distribution. One of the new ideas in our algorithm is to use importance sampling to approximate the posterior distribution of ...

Bayesian Network Induction With Incomplete Private Data

A Bayesian network is a graphical model for representing probabilistic relationships among a set of variables. It is an important model for business analysis. Bayesian network learning methods have been applied to business analysis where data privacy is not considered. However, how to learn a Bayesian network over private data presents a much greater challenge. In this paper, we develop an appr...

Bayesian Network Structural Learning and Incomplete Data

The Bayesian network formalism is becoming increasingly popular in many areas such as decision aid, diagnosis and complex systems control, in particular thanks to its inference capabilities, evenwhen data are incomplete. Besides, estimating the parameters of a fixed-structure Bayesian network is easy. However, very few methods are capable of using incomplete cases as a base to determine the str...
