Bayesian Networks
Bayesian Networks (BNs), also known as Belief Networks or Bayes Nets, are graphical models that represent probabilistic relationships among a set of variables. They are widely used in various fields such as medicine, finance, artificial intelligence, and more for reasoning under uncertainty. Key Concepts: Nodes and Edges: Nodes: Each node in a Bayesian network represents a random variable, which can be discrete or continuous. Edges: Directed edges (arrows) between nodes represent conditional dependencies. If there is an edge from node $A$ to node $B$, it indicates that $B$ is conditionally dependent on $A$.
