Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Aim

1.2 Motivation

  • We have an understanding of BNs as graphical models representing probability distributions.
  • What does that imply in terms of the underlying probability distribution?
  • What happens if a probability distribution factorizes with respect to a graph?
  • What kind of computations can we make on BNs?
  • What kind of questions can we answer using (quantified) BNs?
