The factorization properties underlying graphical models facilitate tractable computation with multivariate distributions, making the models a valuable tool with a plethora of applications. Furthermore, directed graphical models allow intuitive causal interpretations and have become a cornerstone for causal inference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile there exist a number of excellent books on graphical models, the field has grown so much that individual authors can hardly cover its entire scope. Moreover, the field is interdisciplinary by nature. Through chapters by leading researchers from different areas, this handbook provides a broad and accessible overview of the state of the art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Contributions by leading researchers from a range of disciplines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Structured in five parts, covering foundations, computational aspects, statistical inference, causal inference, and applicati\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The Handbook of Graphical Models is an edited collection of chapters written by leading researchers and covering a wide range of topics on probabilistic graphical models. The editors, Marloes Maathuis, Mathias Drton, Steffen Lauritzen, and Martin Wainwright, are well-known statisticians and have conducted foundational research on graphical models. They have done a great job of soliciting and organizing chapters authored by top researchers from a variety of disciplines beyond just mathematics, probability and statistics; many authors hail from computer science, electrical engineering, economics, and even philosophy. It is precisely the multidisciplinary nature of this book that makes it stand out from other texts on graphical models. Because of this, the Handbook of Graphical Models will have broad appeal across many disciplines, providing a unique resource and excellent reference for those researching, studying, and using graphical models...Overall, the Handbook of Graphical Models is an important reference on probabilistic graphical models that will be used by researchers in statistics and probability, computer science, electrical engineering and beyond. The book stands out for its broad, multidisciplinary nature, with wide-ranging and largely theoretical coverage of core topics and the latest research on graphical models.\"\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eGenevera I.
