Causal Inference with Bayesian Networks
By :
This section presents a query composition algorithm based on the weighted relation approach to performing reasoning tasks in deterministic and probabilistic networks. The algorithm belongs to variable elimination algorithms for exact inference with graphical models.
This section is organized as follows. We begin with a review of the factored representation of the graphical models of Bayesian networks. Next, we give a motivational introduction to illustrate the basic idea of variable elimination in the context of inference in Bayesian networks. Following this, we formally describe the QCG algorithm for inference based on compositional queries on weighted relations. Finally, in a practice section, we describe the code of various functions for implementing the QCG algorithm and give an example demonstrating the application of one of those functions. Let’s dive into it.
