Description
Book SynopsisThe techniques and methods presented for knowledge elicitation, model construction and verification, modeling techniques and tricks, learning models from data, and analyses of models have all been developed and refined on the basis of numerous courses that the authors have held for practitioners worldwide.
Trade ReviewFrom the book reviews:
“The monograph concentrates on intelligent systems for decision support based on probabilistic models, including Bayesian networks and influence diagrams. … This monograph provides a review of recent state affairs of probabilistic networks that can be useful for professionals, practitioners, and researchers from diverse fields of statistics and related disciplines. I think it can be used as a textbook in its own right for an upper level undergraduate course, especially for a reading course.” (Technometrics, Vol. 55 (2), May, 2013)
