Learning Predictive Interactions Using Information Gain and Bayesian Network Scoring
BACKGROUND The problems of correlation and classification are long-standing in the fields of statistics and machine learning, and techniques have been developed to address these problems. We are now in the era of high-dimensional data, which is data that can concern billions of variables. These data present new challenges. In particular, it is difficult to discover predictive variables, when ea...
متن کاملDiscovering Brain Mechanisms Using Network Analysis and Causal Modeling
Mechanist philosophers have examined several strategies scientists use for discovering causal mechanisms in neuroscience. Findings about the anatomical organization of the brain play a central role in several such strategies. Little attention has been paid, however, to the use of network analysis and causal modeling techniques for mechanism discovery. In particular, mechanist philosophers have ...
متن کاملDiscovering Domains Mediating Protein Interactions
Background: Protein-protein interactions do not provide any direct information regarding the domains within the proteins that mediate the interactions. The majority of proteins are multi domain proteins and the interaction between them is often defined by the pairs of their domains. Most of the former studies focus only on interacting domain pairs. However they do not consider the in...
متن کاملUsing Causal Information and Local Measures to Learn Bayesian Networks
In previous work we developed a method of learning Bayesian Network models from raw data This method relies on the well known minimal description length MDL principle The MDL principle is particularly well suited to this task as it allows us to tradeo in a principled way the accuracy of the learned network against its practical usefulness In this paper we present some new results that have aris...
متن کاملDiscovering Dynamics Using Bayesian Clustering
This paper introduces a Bayesian method for clustering dynamic processes and applies it to the characterization of the dynamics of a military scenario. The method models dynamics as Markov chains and then applies an agglomerative clustering procedure to discover the most probable set of clusters capturing the di erent dynamics. To increase e ciency, the method uses an entropy-based heuristic se...
