Bayesian network inference using marginal trees

Abstract: Variable elimination (VE) and join tree propagation (JTP) are two alternatives to inference in Bayesian networks (BNs). VE, which can be viewed as one-way propagation in a join tree, answers each query against the BN meaning that computation can be repeated. On the other hand, answering a single query with JTP involves two-way propagation, of which some computation may remain unused. In this paper, we propose marginal tree inference (MTI) as a new approach to exact inference in discrete BNs. MTI seeks to avoid… Show more

“…The inference algorithm of the Bayesian network (BN) based on graph theory and probability theory can be used for bidirectional inference [6], namely, it can reason reliability of the system from root nodes to leaf nodes and weak linkage of the system from leaf nodes to root nodes. Therefore, it is widely used in fields such as cancer prediction [7], travel planning [8], classification of traditional Chinese medicine [9], and fault diagnosis [10][11][12][13][14].…”
