Steps towards a model :
Define the
concepts
/
variables
of interest
Model the (
causal
)
dependency
structure between these variables
(CPDs)
Unconditional
probabilities are associated with variables without parents.
Conditional
probabilities for variables that depend on parents variables.
Each row in a table (of CPDs) is a
conditoinal
probability distribution

"Given that we observed the specific values e of the variable E, what are the probailities for the different value combinations of the X"
Causal Reasoning
or
Prediction
reasoning from causes to effects ("downwards" in the network)
Evidential Reasoning
or
Explanation
Reasoning from effects/obsedrvations to possible causes ("upwards" in the network)
Intercausal Reasoning
a.k.a "
Explaining Away
", one causal factor gives us infromatin about another causal factor
Reasoning with
Bayesian Networks
A reasoning algorithm can dervie every consequence that follow from any cmobination of given information
No notion of cause and effect needed : dependencies in a network can be modelled in anrbitrary directions
