Improving Structure MCMC for Bayesian Networks through Markov Blanket Resampling
Algorithms for inferring the structure of Bayesian networks from data have become an increasingly popular method for uncovering the direct and indirect influences among variables in complex systems. A Bayesian approach to structure learning uses posterior probabilities to quantify the strength with which the data and prior knowledge jointly support each possible graph feature. Existing Markov C...
متن کاملIntroducing a New Method for Multiarea Transmission Networks Loss Allocation
Transmission loss allocation in very large networks with multiple interconnected areas or countries is investigated in this paper. The main contribution is to propose a method to calculate the amount of losses due to activity of each participant in the multi area markets. Pricing of cross-border trades in Multi area systems is often difficult since individual countries may use incompatible ...
متن کاملPartial Order MCMC for Structure Discovery in Bayesian Networks
We present a new Markov chain Monte Carlo method for estimating posterior probabilities of structural features in Bayesian networks. The method draws samples from the posterior distribution of partial orders on the nodes; for each sampled partial order, the conditional probabilities of interest are computed exactly. We give both analytical and empirical results that suggest the superiority of t...
متن کاملA Mode-Hopping MCMC sampler
One of the main shortcomings of Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers is their inability to mix between modes of the target distribution. In this paper we show that advance knowledge of the location of these modes can be incorporated into the MCMC sampler by introducing mode-hopping moves that satisfy detailed balance. The proposed sampling algorithm explores local mode structure through local MCMC...
متن کاملNew Local Move Operators for Bayesian Network Structure Learning
We propose new local move operators incorporated into a score-based stochastic greedy search algorithm to efficiently escape from local optima in the search space of directed acyclic graphs. We extend the classical set of arc addition, deletion, and reversal operators with a new operator replacing or swapping one parent to another for a given node, i.e. combining two elementary operations (arc ...
