We prove that perfect distributions exist when using a finite number of bits to represent the parameters of a Bayesian network. In addition, we provide an upper bound on the probability of sampling a non-perfect distribution when using a fixed number of bits for the parameters and that the upper bound approaches zero exponentially fast as one increases the number of bits. We also provide an upp...

Much of the work in studyi...
