"Bayesian Networks: An Introduction" provides a self-contained introduction to the theory and applications of Bayesian networks, a topic of interest and importance for statisticians, computer scientists and those involved in modelling complex data sets. The material has been extensively tested in classroom teaching and assumes a basic knowledge of probability, statistics and mathematics. All notions are carefully explained and feature exercises throughout.

Features include:

An introduction to Dirichlet Distribution, Exponential Families and their applications.A detailed description of learning algorithms and Conditional Gaussian Distributions using Junction Tree methods.A discussion of Pearl's intervention calculus, with an introduction to the notion of see and do conditioning.All concepts are clearly defined and illustrated with examples and exercises.
