NML Computation Algorithms for Tree-Structured Multinomial Bayesian Networks
Typical problems in bioinformatics involve large discrete datasets. Therefore, in order to apply statistical methods in such domains, it is important to develop efficient algorithms suitable for discrete data. The minimum description length (MDL) principle is a theoretically well-founded, general framework for performing statistical inference. The mathematical formalization of MDL is based on t...
متن کاملCalculating the Nml Distribution for Tree-structured Bayesian Networks
We are interested in model class selection. We want to compute a criterion which, given two competing model classes, chooses the better one. When learning Bayesian network structures from sample data, an important issue is how to evaluate the goodness of alternative network structures. Perhaps the most commonly used model (class) selection criterion is the marginal likelihood, which is obtained...
متن کاملEfficient Computation of NML for Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks are parametric models for multidimensional domains exhibiting complex dependencies between the dimensions (domain variables). A central problem in learning such models is how to regularize the number of parameters; in other words, how to determine which dependencies are significant and which are not. The normalized maximum likelihood (NML) distribution or code offers an inform...

متن کاملTree-Structured Bayesian Networks for Wrapped Cauchy Directional Distributions
Modelling the relationship between directional variables is a nearly unexplored field. The bivariate wrapped Cauchy distribution has recently emerged as the first closed family of bivariate directional distributions (marginals and conditionals belong to the same family). In this paper, we introduce a tree-structured Bayesian network suitable for modelling directional data with bivariate wrapped...
